The U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has launched a $30 million program, Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC³), to advance quantum solutions for complex simulations in chemistry and materials science. This initiative targets breakthroughs in sustainable catalysts, superconductors, and battery chemistries, aiming for a 100x improvement over classical methods. Projects will develop quantum algorithms and optimize across software and hardware, with a focus on reducing emissions and achieving energy efficiency. Initial concept papers are due November 21, 2024. More details are available here:
