Ground state and activation energy estimation for chemistry would be really useful. I know chemists are looking specifically at nitrogen fixation as one useful example.

Or as another example, I'm currently at a conference listening to a PhD student's research on biomolecular structure prediction (for protein design).

Energy levels and activation energies can be acquired much more simply from Fourier Transform - Ion Cyclotron Resonance - Mass Spectroscopy...

Its a device that makes and analyzes at the same time, check out this primer:

Cool stuff and thanks for the link, I'll have to learn about it when I have a bit more time.

I've always heard Qalgs for chemistry compared to classical methods though. Why do you think chemists are using CCSD and similar methods rather than the FT-ICR mass spectroscopy?

One of the few genuinely useful accomplishments of modern "AI" has been protein structure prediction. I wonder if we still even need QC for this.
