Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is hosting its 'HPE World Quantum Day' event on April 14 to explore how quantum computing is rapidly advancing and moving from the lab into enterprise reality. Experts will discuss quantum-ready architectures, the Quantum Scaling Alliance that HPE is leading, and quantum computing's potential to solve complex problems in fields like materials science and optimization.

Why it matters

Quantum computing represents a major shift in computing power that could revolutionize industries, but it must be integrated with classical supercomputing systems to become a viable long-term solution. HPE is taking a collaborative approach, working with research labs, industry partners, and its own HPE Labs to accelerate quantum computing breakthroughs and find practical enterprise applications.

The details

HPE is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy to advance quantum computing. This includes leading the Quantum Scaling Alliance, a collaboration with partners like Applied Materials and Synopsys to make quantum computing scalable and practical across industries. HPE is also forming research partnerships, such as with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to explore integrating quantum with high-performance computing and AI. These efforts aim to unlock quantum's potential to solve complex problems much faster than classical computers.

  • The 'HPE World Quantum Day' event will take place on April 14, 2026.
  • In November 2025, HPE announced the launch of the Quantum Scaling Alliance.

What they’re saying

“Quantum's going to help solve these highly dimensional, super complex data intensive workloads, because you need that compute power.”

— Scott Hebner, Principal Analyst for AI, theCUBE Research

“For quantum to succeed as a viable long-term computing paradigm, it must scale by integrating with classical supercomputing systems. The Quantum Scaling Alliance is offering a full-stack solution—a large partnership with horizontal integration that unlocks compute potential that is otherwise unachievable through a vertical approach.”

— Dr. Masoud Mohseni, Quantum Systems Architect, Quantum Scaling Alliance

“For decades, these technologies have largely evolved in parallel. Now, a fundamentally different architecture is emerging in which distributed quantum processors operate alongside classical supercomputing infrastructure and AI-driven control systems as a tightly coupled system.”

— Dr. Masoud Mohseni, Quantum Systems Architect, Quantum Scaling Alliance

What’s next

The 'HPE World Quantum Day' event on April 14, 2026 will feature in-depth discussions with industry experts on the latest quantum computing breakthroughs and their potential enterprise applications.

The takeaway

HPE is taking a collaborative, multi-faceted approach to advancing quantum computing, working with research labs, industry partners, and its own applied research arm to integrate quantum with classical supercomputing and find practical use cases that can transform industries. This signals quantum computing's transition from the lab to real-world enterprise impact.
