Keeper L. Sharkey Quantum Chemistry And Computing For The Curious File

As physicist Richard Feynman famously said in 1982: “Nature isn’t classical, dammit. So if you want to simulate nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical.” By Keeper L

Why does a molecule smell? How could a computer solve a problem in seconds that would take a classical machine billions of years? And what do these two questions have in common? with a certain probability for each.

But electrons do not think in bits. They think in superpositions —0 and 1 at the same time, with a certain probability for each. By Keeper L
