Quantum Computations on Fusion Blanket Molten Salts

Susanta Das, Thiago J. Pinheiro Dos Santos, Subhamoy Bhowmik +14

Molten salts such as FLiBe (2LiF--BeF) are leading blanket materials for breeding and recovering tritium in fusion reactors. Predicting tritium speciation requires accurate ele…

Crossing the 12,000-atom barrier with heterogeneous quantum-classical supercomputing: quantum chemistry of protein-ligand complexes

Kenneth M. Merz, Akhil Shajan, Danil Kaliakin +20

Ab initio wavefunction methods provide accurate molecular simulations but their computational scaling restricts applications to small systems. We develop a workflow combining quant…

Protein-Ligand Free Energy Perturbation on Quantum Hardware

Zhen Li, Milana Bazayeva, Thaddeus Pellegrini +6

The use of free energy perturbation (FEP) methods to study protein-ligand complexes is one of the most important tools in structure-based drug design. Because FEP methods typically…

Domain-Aware Quantum Circuit for QML

Gurinder Singh, Thaddeus Pellegrini, Kenneth M. Merz

Designing parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) that are expressive, trainable, and robust to hardware noise is a central challenge for quantum machine learning (QML) on noisy inte…
