A team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have devised a new quantum algorithm to compute the lowest energies of ...

Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

Theoretical quantum chemistry is a central discipline that applies the principles of quantum mechanics to decipher and predict the behaviour of molecular systems. It bridges abstract mathematical ...

Quantum mechanics. Quantum tunneling, Quantum computing. Quantum biology. The implications of the quantum world are extraordinary — and potentially intimidating to students trying to maintain a good ...

There are high expectations that quantum computers may deliver revolutionary new possibilities for simulating chemical processes. This could have a major impact on everything from the development of ...

Whether quantum computers can actually solve practical problems is one of the biggest unanswered questions of this growing industry – and one that might be answered by researchers in industrial and ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

A quantum computer and conventional supercomputer that work together could become an invaluable tool for understanding chemicals. A collaboration between IBM and the Japanese scientific institute ...

In a new paper published in The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, researchers from IBM Quantum and Lockheed Martin demonstrate how a quantum computer can help accurately model the electronic ...

The 2024 Gordon Bell Prize goes to researchers led by the University of Melbourne for using the Frontier supercomputer to conduct a quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size ...
