Conclusion

Deep technologies such as quantum computing and Blockchain can bring paradigm shifts in the way the chemical industry innovates and operates. Quantum computing use cases in chemistry are similar to those in healthcare, as they are largely about simulating and calculating chemical reactions using quantum algorithms and devices.

There are two other key acceleration factors for chemistry applications of quantum computing. One is the aspect that molecules can be modeled more naturally within qubits using different circuitry. We saw trapped ion qubits that were more suitable for chemistry than superconductor qubit circuits. The other interesting aspect is the ability to use NISQ devices for chemistry. NISQ devices can be perfect for chemistry as noise can be used as a feature in modeling behaviors of molecules.

This is not quite the case in quantum computing solutions for cryptography; therefore, in their ability to leverage noisy qubits, chemistry...
