Investing.com -- IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) stock gained 4.4% in Monday’s premarket trading after the quantum computing company announced a significant advancement in quantum chemistry simulations that could accelerate development of decarbonization technologies.
The company, in collaboration with a top Global 1000 automotive manufacturer, demonstrated the accurate computation of atomic-level forces using the quantum-classical auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (QC-AFQMC) algorithm. According to IonQ, the results proved more accurate than those derived using classical computing methods.
This breakthrough enables the calculation of nuclear forces at critical points where significant changes occur in molecular systems. These forces can be integrated into classical computational chemistry workflows to trace reaction pathways and improve estimated rates of change, potentially aiding in the design of more efficient carbon capture materials.
"This research demonstrates a clear path for quantum computing to enhance chemical simulations that are foundational to decarbonization technologies," said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO at IonQ. "Our work goes beyond academic benchmarks. It demonstrates a practical capability that can be integrated into molecular dynamics workflows used across pharmaceuticals, battery, and chemical industries."
The advancement builds on IonQ’s previous work with the QC-AFQMC algorithm, which the company believes will deliver commercial advantages in the coming years. The development expands IonQ’s quantum chemistry portfolio and potential applications across multiple industries.
