SUMMARY:The role of Algorithms and Applications in the convergence of Quant
 um\, AI and HPC
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance is pleased to inv
 ite you to its inaugural seminar with Dr Juan Bernabé-Moreno (IBM Resea
 rch Europe)\, who will give a talk titled The role of Algorithms and Appl
 ications in the convergence of Quantum\, AI and HPC.\nThe event will be fo
 llowed by a networking lunch. This is in-person only event.\nAbout the Tal
 k \nThe convergence of Quantum Computing\, Artificial Intelligence\, and 
 High-Performance Computing represents one of the most significant architec
 tural shifts in modern computing. As quantum processors move from experime
 ntal curiosity to commercial-grade processors\, algorithms and application
 s are emerging as the critical bridge connecting these three domains. This
  seminar explores how hybrid algorithmic frameworks are enabling new class
 es of problems to be solved across this integrated compute stack. Drawing 
 on industry developments such as IBM’s Quantum-Centric Supercomputing ar
 chitecture\, we examine how the CPU-GPU-QPU paradigm is reshaping workflow
 s in simulation\, materials science\, and machine learning. The seminar hi
 ghlights that realizing the full promise of this convergence depends not o
 n hardware alone\, but on co-designing algorithms and applications that ca
 n scale across classical and quantum resources in tandem.\nSpeaker’s Bio
 \nDr Juan Bernabé-Moreno is one of few technology leaders to have operate
 d on both sides of the technology equation: 10+ years applying data and AI
  to transform major European corporations as Chief Data and AI Officer —
  at E.ON and Telefónica — and 4+ years creating the foundational techno
 logy that will transform industries next\, as Director of IBM Research Eur
 ope (Ireland & UK)\, partnering with NASA and ESA.\nAs IBM Research Lab Di
 rector\, he leads teams across three labs in Dublin\, Daresbury\, and Hurs
 ley\, advancing AI and quantum computing while engaging directly with UK a
 nd Irish governments on national technology strategies. He is also respons
 ible for driving IBM’s Algorithms and Applications Research mission with
  NASA and the European Space Agency\, leading researchers across seven glo
 bal labs to explore how the convergence of AI and quantum computing can tr
 ansform science and engineering. This partnership has delivered award-winn
 ing foundation models for science with over one million downloads\, the fi
 rst AI models deployed in space\, and a NASA Agency Group Achievement Awar
 d.\nDr Bernabé-Moreno holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University
  of Granada\, has over 50 publications\, and lectures on quantum applicati
 ons and intelligent systems at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. He 
 is a regular voice in international media — including Malcolm Gladwell
 ’s Smart Talks and The Times Tech Podcast — and a frequent speaker at 
 major events such as IBM Think\, Web Summit\, and Wired.
