Quantum Computational Models for Photoelectrochemical Processes in Solar Fuel and Energy Conversion Systems

Başar Ertonga

Quantum computational models are emerging as powerful tools for understanding and optimizing photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes that underpin next-generation solar fuel and energy conversion systems. These systems involve complex interactions between photons, charge carriers, catalytic surfaces, and molecular intermediates, making accurate predictive modeling challenging for classical simulation frameworks. This study investigates quantum-enabled approaches for simulating light–matter interactions, exciton dynamics, charge-transfer pathways, and catalytic reaction coordinates within PEC architectures. By leveraging quantum algorithms for electronic structure, nonadiabatic dynamics, and reaction energetics, the research explores how quantum simulations can resolve strongly correlated states, multi-electron excitations, and interfacial charge separation with higher fidelity. The analysis highlights the potential of quantum models to accelerate the discovery of efficient photoelectrode materials, enhance solar-to-fuel conversion efficiencies, and support the rational design of artificial photosynthesis systems. Finally, the paper discusses the integration of quantum computational predictions with experimental PEC workflows and outlines opportunities for future hybrid quantum–classical research.

The Role of Quantum Optics in Next-Generation Secure Telecommunications

Bernard Aondofa Atsuwe, Akpenongun Roy Atser, Newton F. Gesa +1 more

Quantum optics, the study of light and its interactions with matter at the quantum level, has revolutionized modern telecommunications. By leveraging quantum phenomena such as entanglement, superposition, and photon manipulation, quantum optics enables ultra-secure communication, high-speed data transfer, and novel computing paradigms. The integration of quantum technologies into emerging communication infrastructures, particularly 6G networks, is becoming increasingly critical for overcoming the inherent limitations of classical communication and computation. In summary, quantum optics and quantum information have profoundly influenced modern physics and technology, where the field continues to bridge fundamental research and practical applications, promising further innovations in the future. The exponential growth of data traffic necessitates advancements in secure and high-speed communication technologies. Classical telecommunications rely on electromagnetic waves, but quantum optics introduces fundamentally new capabilities by exploiting quantum states of light. This paper explores the fundamental principles of quantum optics, its applications in quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum teleportation, and quantum repeaters, and its impact on next-generation telecommunications. We also discussed challenges and future prospects of the quantum optics in telecommunications.

Exploring advancements and prospects of laser technologies towards practical quantum advantage

Siamak Dadras

The second quantum revolution, Quantum 2.0, is fueled by recent progress in generating and manipulating quantum states in both light and matter, leading to new applications such as quantum sensing, computing, and communications. These new applications, which leverage unique quantum properties, such as superposition, entanglement, and measurement sensitivity of quantum states to offer fundamental advantages over classical technologies, are in principle enabled by the Quantum 1.0 technologies such as lasers. As quantum information science and technology progresses steadily from a purely academic discipline towards technology demonstrations, the imperative to transition from laboratory-grade lasers to industry-grade lasers becomes evident in the quest for scalability, robustness, improved performance, and often, reduced SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) for field deployability. This paper provides an overview of the current state and challenges of laser-enabled quantum applications and outlines the advancements in laser technologies from macro-optics to micro-optics to integrated photonics with their prospects towards the practical realization of quantum advantage.
