DeepMind Solves Quantum Chemistry

#artificialintelligence

In principle then, chemistry is easy. All you have to do is write down the Schrodinger equation for the reactants and solve it. In practice, this isn't possible because multi-body Schrodinger equations are very difficult to solve. In fact, the only atom we can solve exactly is the Hydrogen atom with one proton and one electron. All other atoms are solved by approximations called perturbation techniques.
