Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, in collaboration with Keio University, Softbank, and JSR Corporation, has announced significant advancements in quantum computing research. The team has developed a method for calculating the energy gap of large systems using quantum computers, successfully executing systems up to 32 qubits, which is over five times larger than previously studied systems. This breakthrough is expected to enhance the analysis of high-precision properties of large molecules, potentially benefiting the development of new materials. The research, resulting from efforts within the IBM Quantum Network Hub at Keio University, has already been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
