Towards HPC-friendly quantum programming models

In my project l'm looking at the programming models for quantum computing, which could be interoperable with classical HPC systems. While most work to date looks at gate-based model of computation, I am interested in other models, such as Hamiltonian-oriented analog quantum simulation. The main benefit of this approach is that one could achieve results on noisy quantum devices using less instructions, allowing to study larger problems and possibly showing quantum advantage sooner. However, because of rather low interest in this direction, there is a lack of tooling and compiler technology. That’s where I want to contribute.
