Researchers have performed the first ever quantum-mechanical simulation of the benchmark ultracold chemical reaction between potassium-rubidium (KRb) and a potassium atom, opening the door to new ...

For molecules to react, they need to collide with enough energy. If molecules hit with too little energy, they can just bounce off without reacting. If they collide with enough energy, bonds can break ...

Google researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate a chemical reaction for the first time. The reaction is a simple one, but this marks a step towards finding a practical use for quantum ...
