Quantum Simulation to Solve Quantum Physics

Analog quantum computers developed by researchers at UCD (University College of Dublin) and Stanford University could solve some of the most exciting unanswered questions in quantum physics. The essential idea behind these specialised analog devices is to build a hardware solution to the problem rather than writing code for a digital computer. The new ‘quantum …

State of the Art Quantum Chemistry in 2022

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 early papers that suggest classical supercomputers can get to 100 atoms and 1000 qubit for some types of simulation. Quantum computers …
