 ical reaction dynamics\, and exploring\nclassical potential energy surface

CONTACT:Dr Mark Miller
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I review the recent progress of our group in th
 e development of efficient quantum computer\nalgorithms for electronic str
 ucture and chemical dynamics. I will also briefly discuss the potential of
  quantum\ncomputers to solve classical optimization problems such as the H
 P model for protein folding. We will describe\nthe first quantum computer 
 experiment to obtain the electronic structure of the hydrogen molecule\, c
 arried out\nin collaboration with the group of Andrew White at the Univers
 ity of Queensland\, Australia.
