The rapid development of hardware devices with various realizations of qubits enables the execution of small scale but representative applications on quantum computers. The high-energy physics community plays a pivotal role in accessing the power of quantum computing, since the field is a driving source for challenging computational problems. This concerns, on the theoretical side, the exploration of models which are very hard or even impossible to address with classical techniques and, on the experimental side, the enormous data challenge of newly emerging experiments, such as the upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. In this roadmap paper, an international team of researchers led by CERN, DESY and IBM, provided the status of high-energy physics quantum computations and gave examples for theoretical and experimental target benchmark applications, which can be addressed in the near future. Having the IBM 100 x 100 challenge in mind, where possible, they also provide resource estimates for the examples given using error mitigated quantum computing… read more.
