>> Pacific Northwest
National Lab is focused on
trying to solve
the challenging problems
that our nation faces
in terms of energy,
environment, and national security.
>> In the area of catalysis science,
we're trying to understand
how to transform
particular molecules to
other molecules for energy.
>> At Microsoft, we're building
out a full quantum stack.
Quantum algorithms, quantum software,
and a quantum hardware,
in our intelligent cloud in Azure.
We recognized PNNL's expertise in
computational chemistry and our
capabilities in quantum computing,
and formed a partnership
to bring about
a new computational chemistry library
in the Microsoft Quantum
Development Kit.
>> We don't believe classical
computing is going to be enough
for us to solve even
more difficult problems
that we want to address.
>> Applications for
the quantum computer are
problems in physics and chemistry,
problems that are really hard
for classical machines to solve.
A quantum computer
can, by its nature,
simulate other physical
systems really well.
>> NWChem is
the flagship Department of Energy
computational chemistry code
that's being used to analyze
molecular electronic structures
in various forms in both chemistry
and in material science.
>> The Microsoft Quantum
Development Kit Chemistry Library
brings together the power of NWChem,
the power of the Q#
programming language
for simulating chemistry problems.
Together, we can enable a new set of
solutions around chemistry
and quantum computing,
enabling us to produce
artificial fertilizer.
Enabling us to extract carbon from
the environment and help
combat global warming.
>> Microsoft Quantum Development Kit
definitely makes it much easier to
go from the chemistry
problem specification
to the output that we care about.
>> Quantum computing has the
potential to help us
answer our questions much,
much faster with
much higher accuracy.
It's fantastic. It's things
that we just can't imagine,
in five to 10 to 20 years' time,
we're going to be solving
because of quantum computing.
>> I'm really excited about
the promise of quantum computing.
>> The possibilities
are basically endless.
>> It's the next frontier.
