Calculating Ammonia's Ionization Potentials with a Quantum Computer

Team Kvantify
Kvantify is pleased to announce the second webinar in the series Kvantify Qrunch – Chemistry on Quantum Computers Should be Easy.
The webinar will take place January 14 at 15:00–15:40 CET.
In this webinar Dr. Rafael Barfknecht will demonstrate how to compute ionization properties of ammonia using Qrunch’s chemistry-oriented workflow. It introduces the standard sequence of defining a system, encoding it in an appropriate electronic structure representation, selecting an ionization-focused algorithm, and executing the computation. The webinar highlights how Qrunch abstracts quantum computing complexity to provide an interface familiar to computational chemists. It shows how ionization energies and related observables can be derived through Qrunch’s hybrid classical-quantum simulation capabilities. The webinar illustrates how Qrunch’s model handles the removal of electrons and the resulting charged states.
