The Largest Ever Chemical Experiment For Quantum Computers

Quantum computing is an expensive and tricky affair. Even if one manages to accumulate all the funds to set up one QC, the exponential scaling in the number of quantum variables makes it difficult to find the exact solutions. It gets more challenging in the case of quantum chemical equations. The solution remains out of reach for modern classical computers. To address this, the AI Quantum team at Google, in their latest work, performed the largest chemical simulation on a quantum computer to date.
