Exploring Quantum Computing Applications in Modern Scientific Simulations

Abstract

This research seeks to explore how quantum computing has transformed scientific simulations of today, thereby overcoming some classical computational restrictions. It discusses the contribution of quantum computing in simulating quantum systems, the optimization of chemical reactions, enhancement of cryptography, alleviation of implementation challenges on algorithms, and forecasting future improvements. The method used in this study was qualitative, comprising an analysis of existing literature, interviews with experts, and case studies. Findings show that quantum computing significantly improves accuracy, efficiency, and security in scientific simulations but also raises challenges such as error rates and scalability. This paper emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and continued innovation to unlock the full potential of quantum computing in science.
