SUMMARY:Bridges-2 Webinar: QAOA Implementation Using CUDA-Q
DESCRIPTION:Dear Bridges-2 Community,We invite you to join us for an insigh
 tful webinar hosted by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center:Bridges-2 Webi
 nar: Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) utilizing CUDA-Q on
  Bridges-2Date: March 30thTime: 1:00pm - 2:00pm (EDT)Location: VirtualIn t
 his webinar, we discuss the theoretical framework of the standard Quantum 
 Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and its implementation using CUD
 A-Q, NVIDIA’s hybrid quantum computing platform. Using a simple Max-Cut 
 problem as an example, we demonstrate how Bridges-2 GPU resources combined
  with CUDA-Q enable efficient prototyping and benchmarking of variational 
 quantum algorithms. About Niraj Nepal: Niraj received his Ph.D. in Physics
  from Temple University in 2020, specializing in ab initio electronic stru
 cture methods. He held postdoctoral positions at Temple University and Ame
 s National Laboratory before joining the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center 
 (PSC) in January 2025. His primary role is to support users and conduct re
 search in ab initio methods, quantum computing, and AI.Speaker:Niraj Nepal
