End-to-end framework for simulating the time evolution of a chemical reaction on a fault-tolerant quantum computer
Researchers from PsiQuantum and Stanford have developed a comprehensive state-of-the-art end-to-end framework for the simulation of real-time dynamics of chemical systems on a fault-tolerant quantum computer; this is of interest in modeling the dynamics of chemical reactions, such as those that involve catalysts.
PsiQuantum and Boehringer Ingelheim: Fault-tolerant quantum computation of molecular observables
Over the past three decades significant reductions have been made to the cost of estimating ground-state energies of molecular Hamiltonians with quantum computers. However, comparatively little attention has been paid to estimating the expectation values of other observables with respect to said ground states, which is important for many industrial applications.
PsiQuantum and Mercedes-Benz: counting qubits for better batteries
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles rests on developing faster charging, longer lasting battery technology – the critical enabler for transitioning away from internal combustion engines. PsiQuantum has been working with Mercedes Benz to assess just how advanced a quantum computer must be to revolutionize Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery design.
A variational eigenvalue solver on a photonic quantum processor
Quantum computers promise to efficiently solve important problems that are intractable on a conventional computer. For quantum systems, where the physical dimension grows exponentially, finding the eigenvalues of certain operators is one such intractable problem and remains a fundamental challenge.
