The ability to simulate small molecules and reactions at a quantum level will be truly profound. The limiting step in being able to manufacture any small organic molecule from raw materials is algorithmic. Imagine a molecule printer that can compile a set of synthesis steps for an arbitrary molecule via simulation. It's not as far-fetched if we can simulate hypothetical reactions easily: http://www.nature.com/news/organic-synthesis-the-robo-chemist-1.15661 http://www.nature.com/news/organic-synthesis-the-robo-chemis...
