Like computer scientists who want to perform superfast calculations, they turn to quantum computing. When light hits a plant cell, its chromophores—light-sensitive molecules—capture the ...

Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan ...

Quantum computing opens up a new avenue for progress. My research group at the University of Oxford investigates how quantum computing can offer value for the net zero transition.

Practical quantum computers may be decades away ... In plants, Photosystem II is a huge, intricate complex of different enzymes that carries out some of the first steps of photosynthesis.

A new quantum computing chip has been developed that can be manufactured at scale in existing fabrication plants. A company called Oxford Ionics has produced what it claims to be the highest ...

Quantum entanglement, in a lab, is a fragile thing that occurs in extreme temperatures under controlled conditions. That it can occur in plants, or bacteria, is a heartening prospect.

Quantum computers, by contrast, are themselves quantum systems—so quantum behavior comes naturally. This makes quantum computers natural candidates for simulating chemistry.

In November 2019, Microsoft announced Azure Quantum.This quantum-computing cloud service is currently in private preview and expected to become generally available later this year.

Early quantum computer prototypes are still in the hundreds of qubits. David Awschalom, ... By its closing in April 1992, the plant was down to about 700 workers. Since then, ...
