On the AI sid e\, we outline platforms and tools that raise productivity for training an d inference at scale (e.g.\, HyperQueue for heterogeneous scheduling\, HEA ppE and LEXIS for HPC-as-a-Service and federated workflows) and describe a ccess routes that connect Czech users to EuroHPC capacity\, including LUMI and forthcoming AI-Factory services. On the QC side\, we detail the VLQ s uperconducting quantum computer (24 qubits\, star-shaped topology) and its role in hybrid HPC–QC pipelines for optimisation\, small-scale quantum chemistry\, and quantum-enhanced ML\, alongside practical enablers such as error-mitigation strategies and classical pre/post-processing on Karolina and partner EuroHPC systems. We position these capabilities within e-INFR A CZ and the EuroHPC ecosystem\, highlight representative impacts across s cience\, industry\, and public administration (from crisis-management anal ytics to drug-discovery workflows)\, and sketch next steps: federating AI factories and quantum systems\, operationalising VLQ within EuroHPC access schemes\, and commissioning Barbora NG to expand AI-ready throughput. Tog ether\, these developments advance a usable path from today’s large-scal e AI to tomorrow’s hybrid quantum-accelerated applications.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/NSCM/186/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
