Quantum samples guide classical calculations of molecular energies

May 8, 2024

Javier Robledo-Moreno and colleagues combine quantum samples with distributed classical computing to approximate molecular ground states beyond the size accessible to exact diagonalization. This does not establish superiority over the best approximate classical methods.

Why it matters

The hybrid workflow tests how noisy quantum measurements can assist chemistry calculations while keeping their energies and approximations assessable classically.
