"This study shows that quantum computers are starting to deliver value in real chemical simulations — not just toy problems or idealized systems."

Looking forward towards it. But I am sceptical how much value exactly was added, but I lack the insight here.

I'm a massive quantum computing skeptic. However, I do believe that if there is going to be an actual real and practical QC use case with verifiable quantum advantage in our lifetimes, it's NOT going to be factoring with Shor's or doing search with Grover's, it's going to be molecular interaction simulation as described here. Even so, I give it less than 50% chance of coming to fruition.

How’s that Lockheed fusion reactor coming along?
