Run utility-scale quantum dynamics simulations with the new Dynamics Simulator Qiskit Function | Q-CTRL

Better batteries, cleaner catalysts, and new materials for the energy sector all depend on understanding how electrons behave inside a material. Simulating that behavior takes enormous computing power. Research has estimated that roughly one-third of the world’s supercomputer time already goes to chemistry and materials simulation.

Earlier this year, Q-CTRL showed that you can now run these simulations on a real quantum computer faster than the best classical tools researchers use today, with the same accuracy. Running Fire Opal on the IBM Quantum Platform delivered Practical Quantum Advantage on a real materials-science problem, completing the simulation up to 3,000 times faster than industry-standard classical software, based on industry benchmarks. And on the latest IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, that same breakthrough benchmark workflow now runs another 12 times faster than on IBM Quantum Heron r3, continuing to outpace classical advancements that have followed our…
