One of the biggest promises of quantum computing is the ability to simulate molecules ...

It’s hard to overestimate the impact of computer-based calculations on chemistry. Even if measured strictly by the importance of quantum mechanical calculations, which many chemists consider ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers ...

Quantum chemistry is very hard. The best quantum computing chemistry seems to be at the level of 12 qubits / 12 atoms. Supercomputer simulations can handle 20 qubits and 20 atoms simulation. There are ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

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 small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

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 ...

So, what exactly is quantum theory in chemistry? It’s basically the set of ideas that explain how atoms and molecules behave at a really, really tiny level. Think smaller than you can even imagine.
