Quantum Applications
"Tackling humanity’s toughest challenges with quantum + AI"
Classical computers have always been limited in their capacity to simulate molecular interactions. To compute quantum mechanics, we need a rich understanding of all possible positions and movements of electrons. In this session, we will elaborate on why quantum computers are uniquely suited to tackle problems of this type and explore possible real-life quantum applications, such as better batteries, self-healing materials, and non-PFAS alternative chemicals.
