A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Having the right tool for the job makes the job a lot easier, less expensive and faster. Chemical engineering researchers have now developed a virtual laboratory that can be used to determine the ...

Computing hasn’t changed fundamentally since the advent of the abacus 4,500 years ago. But that could change imminently as the world ushers in the quantum computer, a radically new type of computing ...
