When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...
Richard Feynman, the iconic physicist and one of the progenitors of quantum computing, famously said in 1981: “Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d ...
Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...
