Classical Computers Solve Key Nitrogenase Challenge Without Quantum Help
TL;DR
A study led by Garnet Chan shows the ground-state energy of FeMo-co, the active site of nitrogenase, can be accurately computed with classical methods, challenging the belief that quantum computers are required for modeling such highly correlated chemical systems and suggesting progress in chemistry can proceed without waiting for fault-tolerant quantum hardware.
