RSC CICAG Quantum Computing in Chemistry

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 19TH NOVEMBER 2026 BUT HAS NOW BEEN RESCHEDULED AS A VIRTUAL EVENT ON THURSDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2027.

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise computational science but has yet to do so. What has it done for chemistry already, what can it do now, and what might it be able to do in the future? This meeting will bring together people working on the applications of quantum computing to chemistry. It will focus on current capabilities and analyse the road to utility. Is quantum computing useful now in addressing specific molecular problems? When will we reach the milestones needed to expand its utility? It will be useful for chemists working in electronic structure theory, molecular design, property prediction and modelling chemical processes. It will answer the questions of what can be done now in each of these fields, and how long we might need to wait for practical quantum computing tools.
