Quantum Information

and Computation for

Chemistry
Quantum mechanics and information theory were key new areas for
scientific progress in the 20th century. Today, the field of quantum
information science covers an increasingly broad range of physical
systems in addition to theoretical topics in mathematics, computer
science, and information theory.

1 Importance of Quantum Computers
The development and use of quantum computers for chemical applications
has the potential for revolutionary impact on the way computing is done in
the future. The importance of developing quantum computers derives not
only from the discipline of quantum physics and chemistry alone, but also
from a wider context of computer science and the semiconductor
electronics industry.

2 Qubits and Gates

In general, we can think of information as something that can be encoded
in the state of a physical system. Unlike classical bits, a qubit can be not only
in state.

3 Circuits and Algorithms

Just as in classical computing, logic gates are cascaded to form a circuit. A
quantum circuit is a sequence of quantum gates. When an algorithm needs
to be implemented with a quantum computer.
