Software Frameworks and Workload Management on Quantum and HPC Ecosystems

This special issue belongs to the section “Algorithms for Multidisciplinary Applications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue contains extended papers from The 1st International Workshop for Software Frameworks and Workload Management on Quantum and HPC Ecosystems, 16–21 November 2025, St. Louis, MO, USA (https://sfwqhe.github.io/sfwm-qhpce/).

This workshop focuses on the development of software frameworks and workload management strategies that are crucial for Quantum-HPC (Q-HPC) ecosystems. As quantum computing progresses, integrating quantum processors with HPC systems presents significant opportunities to tackle complex, large-scale problems. Experts from academia, industry, and national labs will discuss the challenges of managing hybrid resources, along with cutting-edge research on middleware, scheduling algorithms, decomposition strategies, and benchmarking methodologies for Q-HPC systems.

We also warmly welcome regular submissions that are not affiliated with the workshop. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad platform for high-quality research that advances software and workload management in Q-HPC ecosystems. Original contributions addressing relevant challenges and innovations are strongly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
