Simulating quantum chemistry on a quantum computer

Presented by David Poulin, Universite de Sherbrooke

Simulating a molecule with about 100 electronic orbitals is far beyond today's classical computers capabilities. However, this is a problem that could be solved by a quantum computers containing only 100 qubits or so. While this memory requirement is relatively modest, the time requirements for such simulations is excessively large. In this talk, I will present recent improvements of simulation techniques and analysis which considerably reduce the time resources of such simulations.
