Thermodynamic sampling of disordered materials with an analog Hamiltonian Rydberg simulator

This post was contributed by Mao Lin, Bruno Camino, John Buckeridge and Scott M. Woodley Many advanced materials — from battery electrodes to semiconductor alloys — owe their useful properties to atomic-scale disorder. But predicting how atoms arrange themselves at a given temperature is hard: the number of possible configurations explodes combinatorially and sampling them […]

A framework for quantum-classical integration decisions

This post was contributed by Dimitar Trenev, Sebastian Stern, Tyler Takeshita, Cedric Lin, Peter Komar, Pooja Rao, Jerome Gonthier, and Elica Kyoseva. As quantum computing matures toward fault tolerance, a pressing question faces the high-performance computing (HPC) community: why is tightly integrating quantum processors to classical supercomputing infrastructure important? Today, algorithm researchers from Amazon Web […]

Classiq and AWS Power Quantum-Classical Chemistry Innovation in Singapore with Hatch

Introduction In biochemical processes development and analysis, binding energy, the energy released when a small molecule docks into a protein’s active site, determines how strongly a compound, such as a ligand, interacts with its protein target. Early-stage computational prediction of this quantity helps research teams prioritize candidates before committing to resource-intensive laboratory testing. Conventional methods […]
