HQS develops algorithms for quantum computers to predict material properties. This enables development cycles to be accelerated, especially in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The algorithms avoid the intrinsic errors of current quantum computers and thus enable the performance advantages of quantum computing to be exploited already today. https://quantumsimulations.de/
