Exploration of early fault-tolerant Quantum Computing simulation through Hamiltonian discretization

The project’s goal is to determine a quantum-computer suitable discretization of a target Hamiltonian. We will research how to efficiently perform the interaction and kinetic energy integrals with explicitly correlated orbitals using quantum computers, and how to efficiently use the result of those computations for the encoding of Hamiltonians. Assuming the result of the relevant […]

Electrochemical Synthesis and Photophysical Investigation of One and Two Electron Reduced Organic Photoredox Precatalysts

Organic photoredox catalysis is a profitable, emerging methodology in synthetic chemistry, making countless challenging chemical transformations easily accessible. For organic photocatalysts, the active catalyst responsible for single electron transfer to substrates was initially proposed to be the excited state of the radical anion of the photocatalyst, formed in-situ. Recently, the Nocera group has shown that […]

In-situ Investigation of MoS2 QDs Defects using Variable Temperature Raman Microscopy

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) Quantum Dots (QDs) are being developed for use in areas from optoelectronics to energy storage and conversion, but synthetic protocols have yet to be developed to prepare high quality 0-dimensional (0D) material. A key challenge in efforts to develop synthetic protocols is a lack of rapid characterization technique that can unambiguously identify […]
