- hhs 7y agoThere was an article discussing how finance groups like DE Shaw and Two Sigma are investing in quantum computing to get an edge on spotting trends [0]. I wonder how finance groups will learn from this study? [0]: https://www.ft.com/content/60fded2a-be5a-11e7-b8a3-38a6e068f464 https://www.ft.com/content/60fded2a-be5a-11e7-b8a3-38a6e068f...

- PeCaN 7y agoThey're pretty good at simulating molecules and molecular interactions. I think chemical engineering is probably the killer app for quantum computers.
- fermuch 7y agoHow would that work? Is there an implementation on a simulator to see how it would work?
- marcosdumay 7y agoYes, they can do stuff like fast simulations of quantum mechanics, that should change everything from material sciences and electronics up to medicine.
