World-first quantum computer simulation of chemical bonds using trapped ions

Simulation of chemical bonds and reactions is expected to be one of the first applications for at-scale quantum computers. Physicists have now demonstrated the world-first simulation of a chemical bond using trapped ion qubits, one of the most promising pathways to full-scale quantum computing.
