Title: “High Energy Physics Experimental Computing and the role of Quantum Computing”

Abstract:
Experimental High Energy Physics (HEP) is historically one of the most
computing resource hungry scientific fields, with the need to process,
store and analyze amounts of data comparable with the largest commercial
and social sources. In this seminar, an overview of the current and
projected needs is presented, with an explanation of the most demanding
tasks. For these, the current efforts for the utilization of Quantum
Computing are shown, with projections to further use cases and algorithms.
Finally, an overview of the HEP community efforts towards QC is presented.
