Dynamics of a Free Particle Using Classical Computing and Quantum Computing: Introducing Quantum Computing to Chemistry Students

Journal of Chemical Education, v101 n4 p1599-1609 2024
In this paper, we present a computational chemistry project that demonstrates the quantum dynamics of a free particle, using both classical and quantum computing algorithms. This project can be used in a computational quantum chemistry course in which the instructor introduces quantum computing. Students write their own programs to simulate the simplest example of quantum dynamics by using both classical and quantum computing algorithms. Through this article, it is expected that students of chemistry will get a good introduction to the emerging field of "quantum chemistry on a quantum computer."
