Which Quantum Algorithms are Relevant to Catalysis?
Several quantum algorithms are particularly relevant for catalysis:
Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA): QAOA can address optimization problems inherent in catalytic processes, such as minimizing energy in reaction networks. Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE): VQE is used to find the ground state energies of molecules, which is critical for understanding catalytic reactions. Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE): QPE helps in determining eigenvalues of matrices, crucial for calculating properties of catalysts.
