For the past three years, startup HQS Quantum Simulations has been collaborating with science and technology company Merck. Together, the companies are exploring what are the most relevant quantum mechanical effects that can be value-added for a chemical company and that can be understood with NISQ computers.

A new collaboration between HQS Quantum Simulations GmbH and RMIT University’s Jared Cole aims to use quantum computers to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells.
Together, HQS and the RMIT team are aiming to bridge the gap from material development for improved organic solar cells to the quantum mechanical solution of the resonant transfer model.
