[2510.19550] Quantum computation of molecular geometry via many-body nuclear spin echoes
We are excited to announce our team's latest publication, "Quantum computation of molecular geometry via many-body nuclear spin echoes," in collaboration with Google Quantum AI and others!
In this work, our NMR team performed sophisticated "many-body echo" experiments on organic molecules. These complex quantum signals, which are sensitive to molecular geometry, are notoriously difficult to interpret using classical computers.
Our collaborators simulated these signals on a "Willow" quantum processor, tuning the simulation to perfectly match our real-world NMR data. This powerful hybrid approach allowed the team to accurately determine challenging geometric properties, demonstrating a new way to merge advanced NMR spectroscopy with quantum computation to map molecular structures.
About the Lab
We reimagine magnetic resonance—NMR and EPR—as tools for discovery across chemistry, physics, and biology. By harnessing the untapped potential of quantum spins, we develop methods, materials, and devices that advance both fundamental science and practical applications.
We are based at the University of California, Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
