Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and ...

Quantum computers are gaining a reputation among chemists and material scientists as promising tools that can tackle problems ...

IBM and an international team of researchers have used a quantum computer to accurately simulate the electronic structure of ...

Physicists have built a new type of digital-analogue quantum simulator in Google’s laboratory, which can be used to study physical processes with unprecedented precision and flexibility. Two ...

Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these transitions have primarily been studied in three-dimensional (3D) and ...

An unprecedently large quantum simulator could shed light on how exotic, potentially useful quantum materials work and help us optimise them in the future. Quantum computers may eventually harness ...

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 ...

A new type of molecule, not only never before seen but not even predicted, was created with the aid of quantum computers.

IBM unveils revolutionary quantum-centric supercomputing architecture, integrating quantum processors with GPUs and CPUs for advanced scientific research.

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...
