Calculating the Thermal Rate Constant with Exponential Speed-Up on a Quantum Computer

Quantum Physics 2011-07-19 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

It is shown how to formulate the ubiquitous quantum chemistry problem of calculating the thermal rate constant on a quantum computer. The resulting exact algorithm scales exponentially faster with the dimensionality of the system than all known ``classical'' algorithms for this problem.
