Quantum Leap: The New Frontier of Polymer Simulations
A new study shows how quantum computing can be harnessed to discover new properties of polymer systems central to biology and material science. The advent of quantum computing is opening previously unimaginable perspectives for solving problems deemed beyond the reach of conventional computers, f
Implications, Challenges, and Future Directions It has happened before that physical models created to take full advantage of innovative computing technologies have become so successful to be eventually transferred to different areas. The study in Science Advances provides a further example, demonstrating how methodologies inspired by quantum computing can pave the way for exploring new materials and understanding the workings of molecular systems of biological interest.
