Chemistry is one of the promising application areas for quantum computing. Due to the complex nature of individual atoms and molecular structures, simulating chemical reactions on a classical computer may be very challenging. Quantum computers, with their ability to handle complex problems, holds the potential to revolutionize this field.

Though quantum computing is still in its early stages, quantum companies are already utilizing quantum inspired algorithms executed on HPCs, digital and quantum annealers as well as quantum algorithms on NISQ devices within the field of chemistry. Join us to hear talks from the DQC partners Molecular Quantum Solutions and QunaSys to learn more about how they are working with quantum computing to solve real-world problems.

The webinar is open to all and no knowledge about quantum technology is required – join us to learn more about the potentials of quantum!
