Within the next decade, quantum computing has the potential to provide insight to problems in physics and chemistry that would otherwise be intractable. Examples of such problems span from predicting molecular spectra to simulating field theories to probing the dynamics of spin models. Because large fault tolerant machines are still in the distant future, it...

While simulation of quantum problems with classical computers has revolutionized fields like chemistry, materials science, condensed matter and nuclear physics, successful implementation of quantum algorithms has the potential to yield...
