and to determine where the best opportunities are for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var

Using 6 qubits of a 7-qubit IBM Q system, a NISQ computer, researchers were able to measure BeH2\u2019s lowest energy state, a key measurement for understanding chemical reactions. While this model of BeH2 can be simulated on a classical computer (verifying the quantum computer\u2019s results), this achievement is a next step on the path forward for near-term quantum systems to model more complicated chemical reactions. As more powerful quantum systems are built and concomitant tools and techniques are developed, chemistry and the life sciences are expected to experience groundbreaking applications.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-ncst-link-list ncst-link-list layout-one-column\"><div class=\"link-list__container\"><li class=\"ncst-component__bold-link-container wp-block-ncst-bold-link\">\n      <a \n      href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/nature23879\"\n      class=\"ncst-component__bold-link text-link\"\n                >\n    <span class=\"text\">Learn more about applications of quantum computing<\/span><span class=\"arrow-indicator\"><svg class=\"wolficon wolficon-arrow-right-bold\" role=\"img\"  aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<use xlink:href=\"#wolficon-arrow-right-bold\">\n\t\t<\/svg><\/span>\n    <\/a>\n      <\/li>\n  <\/div><\/ul>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaining A Quantum Advantage The state-of-the-art in quantum computing systems has been advancing rapidly in recent years, generating considerable interest in what previously had seemed only a possibility for the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ncst_custom_author":"","ncst_show_custom_author":false,"ncst_dynamicHeaderBlockName":"ncst\/default-header","ncst_dynamicHeaderData":"{\"pageIntro\":\"The IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NC State is a cross-disciplinary center where researchers are working towards advancements in areas such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science.\"}","ncst_content_audit_freq":"","ncst_content_audit_date":"","ncst_content_audit_display":false,"ncst_backToTopFlag":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-687","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
