IBM Just Broke The Record of Simulating Chemistry With a Quantum Computer

Image
Engineers have modelled the interactions between subatomic components of a complex molecule using a quantum computer, making a significant leap forward in our modelling of chemical reactions. T he simulations were carried out by IBM on superconducting hardware, and this milestone just pushed into new territory for what can be achieved using quantum computing. The molecule in question was b eryllium hydride – or BeH2. It's not the fanciest molecule in town , but  there's still a lot going on between those two hydrogens and single beryllium for a computer to figure out. Last year,  Google engineers simulated  the bonding of a pair of hydrogen atoms on its own quantum computer, demonstrating a proof of principle in the complex modelling of the simplest arrangement of energies in molecules. Molecular simulations aren't revolutionary on their own – classical computers are capable of some pretty detailed models that can involve far more than three atoms. But even
