Normally, quantum computers store information using quantum bits, or qubits. However, to simulate the behaviour of the ...

A quantum computer has used a single atom to model the complex dynamics of organic molecules interacting with light ...

Imagine witnessing a molecule absorb a photon, vibrate, and undergo rapid electronic transition—all encoded in a quantum simulation that unfolds over a staggering time-dilation factor of 100 billion ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who ...

To achieve this, IonQ developed a new, efficient approach that can be applied to the simulation of any molecule. Scientists believe this approach can accelerate the development of quantum computer ...

"The simulation showed us that an oxygen molecule can penetrate and reach specific locations in the cluster of proteins where, potentially, it can absorb an extra electron and thus turn into ...

In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model ...
