Quantum Initiative

Welcome to the National Student Data Corps – Quantum Initiative (NSDC-QI), brought to you by the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDHub) and the National Student Data Corps (NSDC), in collaboration with our partners across industry, government, non-profit, and academia.

Quantum computing is reshaping how we solve complex problems, opening new frontiers in science, industry, and technology. 

Explore upcoming events, curated resources, and collaboration opportunities for learners, researchers, educators, and professionals who want to dive deeper into the world of quantum science and technology.

Quantum Webinar Series

Join the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDHub) and the Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN) monthly as we bring together leading researchers, industry experts, and innovators to explore the latest breakthroughs in quantum science and technology. From foundational concepts to real-world applications, these interactive sessions are designed for learners, researchers, educators, and professionals alike.

Upcoming Webinars

Date: December 5th, 2025

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 pm ET

Title: Quantum-Centric HPC: Practicalities, Use Cases and Facilitation

Join the upcoming Quantum Webinar to learn about Quantum-Centric High-Performance Computing: Practicalities, Use Cases and Facilitation from Dr. Torey Battelle. Dr. Battelle is an Associate Director in the Arizona State University (ASU) Research Technology Office. She is instrumental in ASU’s Quantum Collaborative – a collection of universities, industry partners and national laboratories driving the advancement of quantum technologies and workforce development.

Abstract: Quantum computing holds immense promise for achieving computational gains once thought unattainable, given the physical limits to classical compute resources. Certain classes of problems could benefit greatly from speedups obtainable from the exploitation of superposition and entanglement by quantum computing systems. This presentation will look at realistic instances in the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) -era, how these (and other use cases) might scale with quantum hardware, and strategies for integration of quantum resources with HPC. 

Introducing and assimilating quantum computing-related protocols to conventional compute paradigms inevitably complicate the challenges facing facilitators; we will leave time for discussion centering on audience ideas and questions on easing the inclusion of the exciting and paradigm-changing quantum computing technologies.
