Quantum mechanics. Quantum tunneling, Quantum computing. Quantum biology. The implications of the quantum world are extraordinary — and potentially intimidating to students trying to maintain a good ...

Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from 'orderly' to 'random,' as shown through research using large-scale computations on ...

In a new paper published in The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, researchers from IBM Quantum and Lockheed Martin demonstrate how a quantum computer can help accurately model the electronic ...

In this essay I consider whether the theory of organic chemistry is reducible to the theory of quantum chemistry. Using philosophical machinery developed by James Woodward, I characterize the ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry are displayed on a screen at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm during the award announcement on October 4. At the front are five vials ...

Join us on 25 November as we explore the legacy of Walter Kohn, the 1998 joint winner of the Nobel prize in chemistry ...

(Nanowerk News) The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 rewards the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties. These smallest components of ...

Experts believe entangling a brain with a quantum computer could finally reveal where consciousness comes from.
