High-performance computing (HPC) has witnessed significant milestones in its evolution, each wave of innovation breaking performance barriers and leading to groundbreaking scientific discoveries. As Quantum Computing (QC) matures, the question is no longer just about its theoretical capabilities, but also its applicability in real-world computing environments. Consequently, the HPC community is now turning its attention to the potential of QC as the next frontier in advancing the field. However, for QC to realize its potential, it must be seamlessly integrated into the realm of high-performance computing. The integration of QC into HPC centers has become a topic of increasing interest and urgency.

This workshop will focus on the actions required to achieve this integration across various layers, including programming models, environmental and infrastructure requirements, integrated scheduling environments, and operating system extensions. The degree of such integration into the multiple layers, whether it is very loose, where jobs are dispatched to remote schedulers in the cloud, or very tight, with direct physical connection to the control unit, will define the effort required by the interested actors.

Topics of interest to the workshop include but are not limited to:

- Programming models for HPC-Quantum integration
- Environmental and infrastructure considerations
- Integrated scheduling environments
- Operating system extensions for seamless integration
- Quantum software stacks and toolkits
- Benchmarking and performance evaluation of HPC-Quantum systems
- Scalability challenges in HPC-Quantum systems
- Quantum-accelerated HPC system software
