Quantum Computing for Chemistry
At Covestro we successfully use digital simulation techniques to support industrial research and development activities but even with modern high-performance compute (HPC) capabilities we are compute limited in some use cases. Quantum computing holds the promise to enable simulations, especially in molecular quantum chemistry, beyond the capabilities of classical computers. We want to be ready when the technology becomes useful and truly understand its potential, looking beyond the hype. We thus research how near-term and long-term quantum computers can be used to simulate chemistry. In this talk I will give an overview of research results of the past years, many of which coming out of our collaborations with the Google Quantum AI team and QC Ware, on how to best use quantum computers to simulate molecules and how large a quantum computer we will need to gain an advantage.
