Congratulations to Gagliardi Group student Joanna Wang, first author of a new PNAS paper demonstrating how today’s quantum computers can be combined with classical computing to tackle one of chemistry’s most challenging problems.
Working with collaborators at the University of Chicago and IBM, Joanna helped develop LASSQD, a hybrid computational framework that accurately models the complex electronic structures of molecules using current quantum hardware. The work opens new possibilities for research in catalysis, energy, and chemical discovery while showcasing the real-world potential of hybrid quantum computing.
