Simulation of Chemical Reactions on a Quantum Computer

Explore a quantum computing algorithm for calculating scattering matrix elements in this 31-minute conference talk presented by Sabre Kais from Purdue University at the QuDits for Quantum Technology workshop. Delve into the time-dependent method based on the Møller operator formulation, which determines S-matrix elements through time correlation functions of reactant and product Møller wave packets. Discover the successful application of this quantum algorithm to the colinear hydrogen exchange reaction. Gain insights into the potential generalization of this algorithm to qudit space, expanding its applicability in quantum chemistry simulations.
