Registration for the Quantum Computing in Chemistry meeting is now open. It will be held on 19th Nov 2026 at Burlington House, London, UK.
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise computational science but has yet to do so. What has it done for chemistry already, what can it do now, and what might it be able to do in the future? This meeting will bring together people working on the applications of quantum computing to chemistry. It will focus on current capabilities and analyse the road to utility. Is quantum computing useful now in addressing specific molecular problems? When will we reach the milestones needed to expand its utility? It will be useful for chemists working in electronic structure theory, molecular design, property prediction and modelling chemical processes. It will answer the questions of what can be done now in each of these fields, and how long we might need to wait for practical quantum computing tools.
Speakers include
| Chiara Leadbeater – University of Cambridge |
| Sabrina Maniscalco – Algorithmiq |
| Matthias Degroote – Boehringer Ingelheim |
| Ivan Rungger – NPL |
| Maria-Andrea Filip – University of Cambridge |
Abstract submissions for the meeting are very welcome and can be submitted here
Interestingly, there is a UKRI funding opportunity announced that might be of interest.
UK registered organisations can apply for a share of up to £33 million to develop device level hardware and associated software to meet the scale, programmability, and runtime performance needs of universal fault tolerant quantum computers.
