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 ...

Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New calculations are revealing how protons tunnel, bonds flicker and molecules ...

Computing hasn’t changed fundamentally since the advent of the abacus 4,500 years ago. But that could change imminently as the world ushers in the quantum computer, a radically new type of computing ...

Sandbox AQ, the AI and quantum firm spun out of Google parent company Alphabet in 2022, has acquired Good Chemistry, a Vancouver-based quantum and computational chemistry startup, for an undisclosed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum computing has long promised breakthroughs in chemistry, logistics, finance, and climate modeling, but the hardware ...
