[Info.aoa-nano] Smalltalks about Nanoscience "Chemistry Meets Quantum Computing: A New Era of Simulation and Study"

[Nano]

SmallTalks [about Nanoscience]
Please join us at 15.00h for our SmallTalks [about Nanoscience]
You are welcome to join us in lecture hall Kollektorn, MC2 with fika or on zoom: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/63018620593#success


Our speaker is Werner Dobrautz, postdoc at Chemistry and Biochemistry/Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Martin Rahm´s group​


The seminar is divided into two parts, where the first part consists of a pure overview of the field and is held on a generally accessible level (10 min). The second part will be more technical (15-20 minutes).
Abstract
Quantum computing is a type of computing where information is processed using quantum bits (qubits) instead of classical bits, which allows for much faster and more powerful computation. However, current technology for quantum computing has some limitations, such as not being able to hold onto information for long, having errors in the operations, and not having enough qubits to do meaningful calculations. In the first part of this talk I will present why computational chemistry - the field of research that uses computers to simulate and study the behavior of atoms and molecules - can benefit from quantum computing. I will present a novel method that allows to perform meaningful chemistry calculations even with the limited number of available qubits of current quantum computers.

Looking forward to seeing you live or on Zoom!
Best regards,
Alexandra, Philippe, Christoph, and Janine
