Quantum Simulation Of Chemical Dynamics Achieved For The First Time

Creating new drugs or medical treatments are some of the great promises of quantum computing. Scientists at the University of Sydney have, for the first time, used a quantum computer to simulate the chemical dynamics of real compounds, a vital step towards modelling more complex molecules and designing bespoke chemicals that could lead to improved sunscreen or skin cancer treatments.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions May Threaten Our Satellites

Increasing greenhouse gases in our atmosphere may reduce the total number of satellites that can safely orbit the planet, say UK researchers who used computer simulations of the atmosphere to work out the number of satellites that could be maintained sustainably in Earth’s orbit by the year 2100 under different emissions scenarios.
