Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

Theoretical quantum chemistry is a central discipline that applies the principles of quantum mechanics to decipher and predict the behaviour of molecular systems. It bridges abstract mathematical ...

There are high expectations that quantum computers may deliver revolutionary new possibilities for simulating chemical processes. This could have a major impact on everything from the development of ...

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 ...

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

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 ...

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.

For the first time, researchers have observed "quantum superchemistry" in the lab. Long theorized but never before seen, quantum superchemistry is a phenomenon in which atoms or molecules in the same ...
