Quantum computing for carbon capture simulations

Although quantum computing is still in the early development stages, researchers are already leveraging the technology to help solve big challenges like reducing carbon in the atmosphere.

Scientists from the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the University of Kentucky used a quantum algorithm and simulator to study the chemical reactions underlying one of the most popular commercial solvents used in atmospheric carbon capture. The team demonstrated that their quantum resources were capable of computing chemical reactions of larger molecules that were unsolvable on classical supercomputers. Their results were published in AVS Quantum this spring.
