TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
One of the most promising suggested applications of quantum computing is solving classically intractable chemistry problems. This may help to answer unresolved questions about phenomena like high temperature superconductivity, solid-state physics, transition metal catalysis, or certain biochemical reactions. In turn, this increased understanding may help us to refine, and perhaps even one day design, new compounds of scientific and industrial importance. Since building a sufficiently large quantum computer may take time, developments that enable these problems to be tackled with fewer quantum resources should be considered very important. Driven by this potential utility, quantum computational chemistry is rapidly emerging as an interdisciplinary field requiring knowledge of quantum computing, network science and computational chemistry.
The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the interdependency of computational chemistry, quantum computing and complex networks sciences, bridging the current knowledge gap. Here we discuss the major developments in this area, with a particular focus on near-term quantum computation. Illustrations of key methods are provided, explicitly demonstrating how to map chemical problems onto a quantum computer and solve them and then extend these results to the problems of complex networks.
In order to cover the broad scope of the research results in this field we start with a survey type of material and some of the key problems and solutions are then revisited in more detail in the following segments of the course.
