1) Quantum computing for chemistry and physics applications from a Monte Carlo perspective.

The solution to quantum many-body problems in chemistry and physics is one of the most anticipated applications of a quantum computer, as first proposed by Feynman.

2) BASF on Quantum Chemistry: Forecasting Chemical Reaction

There are plenty of advantages of quantum chemistry. Laboratories and experiments are expensive. In some cases, depending on the materials that you work with, they can also carry potential dangers that need to be carefully managed. Furthermore, there are phenomena that are either very difficult or even impossible to understand with experiments. Simulation can help explain chemistry on the atomic level, and it is particularly useful in research areas that would otherwise be very expensive, potentially dangerous or the experiment to find the desired information does simply not exist.  Anthony Debellis, BASF Senior Principal Scientist and expert for quantum chemistry the interviewee for this article.

3) Pasqal: Can quantum computing help find chemistry’s missing equation?

Pasqal has released QEX, an open-source library that uses machine learning and quantum computations to learn better approximations of this functional directly from data.

4) “Quantum Chemistry in the World’s Coldest Test Tube”

Public Lecture by Alan Jamison at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics| Quantum Chemistry in the Universe’s Coldest Test Tube On YouTube

How do chemical reactions change when they’re run at temperatures a billion times colder than a Canadian winter? What can we learn when we have perfect quantum control of the reactants? Before answering these questions, we’ll discuss the fascinating techniques of laser cooling that allow us to cool atoms and molecules to within a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero. We’ll then look at how molecules prepared at such temperatures allow us to control chemical reactions at the quantum level, beginning to open a new understanding of chemistry and new possibilities for technologies of the future.

The $4 Billion Bet: How Quantum Computing Is About to Rewrite Medicine

A human genome sequence took 13 years and $2.7 billion to complete. Today, the same task takes under 12 minutes and costs a few hundred dollars. And yet — even now — our most powerful classical computers still can’t solve some of the most consequential problems in medicine. That’s the gap quantum computing was built for. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/4-billion-bet-how-quantum-computing-rewrite-medicine-bikash-jain-hbxdc/
