In a new paper in American Physical Society’s Phys Rev Research, a group led by Giulia Galli at the University of Chicago and Sam McArdle at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing addresses the challenge of accurately calculating the electronic structure of molecules and solids using quantum computers. Quantum computers show promise for providing solutions with high accuracy, but the scaling of algorithms running on noisy devices requires improvements.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/gf5X5sW6   The study builds on a proposed hybrid quantum-classical algorithm using quantum Monte Carlo that could, in principle, be more accurate than methods adopted on classical computers. However, the quantum-classical algorithm has a major drawback — it requires substantial computational resources for postprocessing.   In the new study, Galli’s team improved the approach by using a protocol called Matchgate shadows. This improvement reduces the postprocessing requirements, making the algorithm more efficient without affecting its noise resilience.   The new approach still demands extensive computational resources. But it is an important step in the realization of practical calculations on #quantum computers.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gf5X5sW6   The paper's authors are Benchen Huang, Yi-Ting (Tim) Chen, Brajesh Gupt, Martin Suchara, Anh Tran, Sam McArdle and Giulia Galli.   Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago Amazon Web Services (AWS) University of Chicago Department of Chemistry Argonne National Laboratory   #quantumcomputing #quantumscience #quantuminformationscience

The Dmitri Talapin Lab just published a groundbreaking study in Science Magazine that's set to redefine quantum dot synthesis. Forget traditional organic solvents – they're using molten salts to create previously inaccessible III-V semiconductor nanocrystals, including the highly sought-after gallium arsenide (GaAs). Why is this a big deal? *Unleashing the power of III-V materials: These materials boast superior electronic and optical properties compared to traditional II-VI quantum dots, promising significant advancements in fields like quantum computing and optoelectronics. *Extreme temperatures, exceptional control: Molten salts can withstand the high temperatures needed to synthesize these materials, while also offering unprecedented control over nanocrystal size, shape, and composition. This means we can tailor their properties for specific applications. *Applications galore: Think brighter LEDs, more efficient solar cells, and next-gen quantum computers with enhanced performance and stability. This research opens a new frontier in materials science and nanotechnology, with the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries.
