Researchers, led by physical chemistry professor Libai Huang, have identified the critical role that quantum interference plays in chemical processes like photosynthesis and transporting energy in ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Microsoft released new open‑source quantum development tools that deepen VS Code and Copilot integration while targeting real ...

There are high expectations that quantum computers may deliver revolutionary new possibilities for simulating chemical processes. This could have a major impact on everything from the development of ...

Computing hasn’t changed fundamentally since the advent of the abacus 4,500 years ago. But that could change imminently as the world ushers in the quantum computer, a radically new type of computing ...

Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

In the world of next-generation energy, researchers are taking a leap beyond chemistry into the strange rules of quantum mechanics. A new type of battery, known as a quantum battery, is no longer just ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...
