Genetic information is stored in DNA as a sequence of specific base pairings. This is passed on largely unchanged from one generation to the next. But how is it possible that cells differ so massively ...

It is believed that new types of computing machines will be constructed to exploit quantum mechanics for an exponential speed advantage in solving certain problems compared with classical computers 9.

Quantum memories, systems that store and retrieve information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, can outperform classical ...

Central in drug design is the identification of biomolecules that uniquely and robustly bind to a target protein, while minimizing their interactions with others. Accordingly, precise binding affinity ...

Scientists from quantum computing company D-Wave have demonstrated that, using a method called quantum annealing, they could simulate some materials up to three million times faster than it would take ...

A quantum computer has accurately reproduced real experimental data on an unprecedented scale. Classical computers are faster and more accurate than the quantum variety. Even so, the simulation ...

This flowchart illustrates the hybrid quantum-classical approach used to identify the optimal diarylethene (DAE) derivatives with large absorbance wavelengths (λmax) and high oscillator strengths. The ...

Quantum computing, once hailed as a new advancement, has encountered significant challenges that have tempered early optimism. Sabine Hossenfelder explores the technical and practical obstacles that ...
