De-Idealizing Quantum Chemistry

Karim P. Y. Thébault

Quantum chemistry is the use of quantum mechanics to model molecules and their dynamics. In this article we will seek to understand quantum chemical practice via the lens of `de-idealization' based upon a selection of examples together with a more general survey of relevant scientific literature. We will offer some general remarks regarding the problem of modelling molecules and the different approach quantum chemists have developed. We will then consider features of two particular models relating to diatomic molecules and environmental interaction before returning to a more general discussion of the different dimensions of de-idealization relevant to quantum chemistry. Our discussion will support the general claim of continuity between the various families of models in quantum chemistry show and other areas of quantum matter modelling and of the commonness of de-idealization approach under which a model can be modified to be more realistic model in the sense of empirical adequacy without necessarily involving constructing representations that are more veridical.

Quantum Chemistry in the Age of Quantum Computing

Yudong Cao, Jonathan Romero, Jonathan P. Olson +10 more

Practical challenges in simulating quantum systems on classical computers have been widely recognized in the quantum physics and quantum chemistry communities over the past century. Although many approximation methods have been introduced, the complexity of quantum mechanics remains hard to appease. The advent of quantum computation brings new pathways to navigate this challenging and complex landscape. By manipulating quantum states of matter and taking advantage of their unique features such as superposition and entanglement, quantum computers promise to efficiently deliver accurate results for many important problems in quantum chemistry, such as the electronic structure of molecules. In the past two decades, significant advances have been made in developing algorithms and physical hardware for quantum computing, heralding a revolution in simulation of quantum systems. This Review provides an overview of the algorithms and results that are relevant for quantum chemistry. The intended audience is both quantum chemists who seek to learn more about quantum computing and quantum computing researchers who would like to explore applications in quantum chemistry.

P i T P Lectures on Quantum Phenomena

K. Birgitta Whaley

The discovery of quantum mechanics immediately transformed both physics and chemistry, and questions were soon asked about its implications for bio- logy. The first era of quantum biology focused on the structure and stability of biological entities like molecules. A second era began in the 1960s, with lasers allowing experiments on the very short time scales relevant to atomic and mo- lecular motions. Today, we have novel nanoprobes of real living cells, and evi- dence for biological phenomena that may involve highly non-trivial quantum effects such as long-range coherence and entanglement.
