报告摘要：
At present, Moore's Law is gradually failing, and various new computing architectures are emerging one after another. Quantum computing is likely to be a revolutionary technology in the future and has recently exhibited great potentials in predicting chemical properties for various applications in drug discovery, material design, and catalyst optimization.
However, quantum computing is in the era of noise intermediate-scale (NISQ), with the number of qubits up to (50-1000), limited coherence time, and gate fidelity. Progress has been made in simulating small molecules with no more than 20 qubits, by using quantum algorithms such as variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Yet, originating from limitations of the size and the fidelity of near-term quantum hardware, how to accurately simulate large scale molecules and materials remains a challenge.
In this talk, we shall present our work towards the larger scale and realistic chemistry simulation. Particularly, combine with quantum embedding theory, density matrix embedding theory as an example, we have greatly enhance the ability of the current quantum device to simulate complex transition oxygen system such as NiO which only requires 20 qubits which may require almost 10k qubits vice versa. Besides, I will also briefly discuss other theoretical research in quantum chemistry simulation, the experimental realization of mainstream quantum systems, and future research trends and difficulties.
