How Well Can Quantum Embedding Method Predict the Reaction Profiles for Hydrogenation of Small Li Clusters?

Dominic R. Alfonso, Benjamin Avramidis, Hari P. Paudel +1 more

Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics in novel ways to tackle complex chemistry problems that cannot be accurately addressed using traditional quantum chemistry methods. However, the high computational cost and available number of physical qubits with high fidelity limit its application to small chemical systems. This work employed a quantum-classical framework which features a quantum active space-embedding approach to perform simulations of chemical reactions that require up to 14 qubits. This framework was applied to prototypical example metal hydrogenation reactions: the coupling between hydrogen and Li2, Li3, and Li4 clusters. Particular attention was paid to the computation of barriers and reaction energies. The predicted reaction profiles compare well with advanced classical quantum chemistry methods, demonstrating the potential of the quantum embedding algorithm to map out reaction profiles of realistic gas-phase chemical reactions to ascertain qualitative energetic trends. Additionally, the predicted potential energy curves provide a benchmark to compare against both current and future quantum embedding approaches.

Topological Quantum Simulation of Complex Chemical Reactions

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the potential of topological quantum computation (TQC) to revolutionize the simulation of complex chemical reactions. Traditional computational methods often struggle to accurately model the intricate interactions between atoms within these reactions. We propose a novel framework utilizing topological phases to represent these interactions, aiming for a more compact and efficient simulation model than existing approaches. The core claim is that TQC offers a pathway to significantly improve the fidelity and speed of simulating complex chemical processes, potentially enabling breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science, and fundamental chemical understanding. The paper details the design and implementation of a TQC simulation platform, highlighting key challenges and preliminary results demonstrating the framework's potential for accurate modeling.

Quantum Computing for Simulation of Complex Chemical Reactions

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the potential of quantum computing for simulating complex chemical reactions. Traditional classical computational methods often struggle with the inherent quantum mechanical nature of chemical systems, particularly when dealing with large molecules and intricate reaction pathways. This work proposes a novel quantum algorithm leveraging superposition and entanglement to directly simulate the time evolution of these systems. The core of the algorithm centers on a time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) implemented on a quantum computer. We outline the key elements, including the encoding of molecular states, the construction of a suitable Hamiltonian operator, and the execution of the quantum algorithm to obtain the final state of the system. The efficiency gains compared to classical methods, particularly for reactions involving significant quantum effects, are discussed. Furthermore, we highlight the potential impact of this technology on accelerating drug discovery, materials science, and fundamental chemical research. The algorithm's core relies on the ability of a quantum computer to perform a vast number of calculations simultaneously, offering a substantial advantage over classical computers when simulating quantum systems.
