Summary
Mark Tuckerman and Norah Hoffmann of New York University and Nandini Ananth of Cornell University are supported by an award from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods program to create new quantum computing algorithms capable of predicting exact quantum properties of molecules under thermal conditions that exist in typical laboratory settings. The types of calculations needed for such predictions cannot be performed on classical computers, and an important overarching goal of this work is to develop new molecular simulation algorithms for quantum computers and to demonstrate th
