The fifth episode of Kvantify’s webinar series is coming up and for this time focusing on: Modeling Carbon Capture Using Qrunch
Carbon capture is an important lever in reducing CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate sectors such as steel and cement. Among emerging technologies, direct air capture offers a compelling route, but designing efficient capture materials requires deep insight into reaction mechanisms at the molecular level.
In this upcoming Kvantify Qrunch webinar, Dr. Patrick Ettenhuber will explore how quantum chemistry and quantum computing can help unlock the potential of the porous material COF-999, a promising candidate for CO₂ capture. Dr. Ettenhuber will show how to load the COF-999 structure in Qrunch, prepare it for calculations, and run quantum-chemistry evaluations using Qrunch’s builders and calculators. The webinar will illustrate how Qrunch handles large periodic or framework-like systems in a simplified way, guiding the user through defining the model, choosing appropriate computation settings, and executing an energy or property calculation.
The webinar will take place March 4 at 15:00–15:40.
From basic principles to documented use cases
The series begins with an overview introduction to Qrunch: what it is, how it is used, and why Qrunch is an important step forward for chemists and researchers looking to take advantage of quantum computing. Participants will also see a demonstration of how to calculate molecules on a real quantum computer.
The following four episodes will dive deeper into specific use cases and show how Qrunch has already been used to solve concrete challenges across different industries. Each episode includes demonstrations, explanations, walkthroughs of results, and plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
