Though the adoption of quantum computing has grown rapidly, quantum hardware has progressed at a slower pace. Addressing this limitation, OTI Lumionics has identified quantum-inspired methods that enable scalable simulations of complex molecules on classical computers. These innovations reveal the potential to dramatically improve performance, accuracy and efficiency for quantum-inspired electronic structure calculations.

OTI Lumionics’ paper presents a method that allows for the rapid optimization of complex and deep quantum circuits for materials simulations. This enables hybrid quantum algorithms to efficiently compute the various energy states of materials using a quantum computer. Due to improvements that OTI has made, it also happens in a computationally efficient approach that can be run on standard, easily available computer servers, instead of dedicated supercomputers.

The research team conducted simulations of real-world OLED molecules such as dinitrogen (N2, 16 qubits), water (H2O, 36 qubits), and tris(2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine) iridium(III), Ir(F2ppy)3, involving up to 80 qubits and hundreds of thousands optimized parameters. The equivalent circuit on a universal quantum computer would have 80 perfect algorithmic qubits and over 1 million 2-qubit gates simulated on 24 CPUs in less than 24 hours. This sets a record for the simulation of a quantum algorithm on classical hardware. Together, these schemes have a highly valuable scalability, making them practical solutions for real-world applications today.
