Great thread by Stefan Knecht on the new paper by the Garnet Chan group: "FeMoCo hasn’t been entirely solved, but for its gold-standard active space model (which is the model QC folks have been looking at!), there is now a classical benchmark that provides an excellent baseline for any quantum work"

My recommendation: read the paper, an excellent work marking IMHO another milestone for quantum chemistry, congratulations to all authors. To add to the cited post, the most important conclusions of the work are highlighted in the picture, a breakdown will be provided in the comments.

The promise of solving the electronic structure of FeMo-co has long been central to the narrative that quantum computers will one day solve world hunger. Now we can finally put the "solving world hunger" part to test since Garnet Chan just solved FeMo-co *classically*! arxiv.org/abs/2601.04621

Stefan Knecht has written up a nice summary of Garnet Chan's new paper "No, FeMoCo hasn’t been entirely solved but for its gold-standard active space model (the model QC folks have been looking at), there is now a classical benchmark which provides an excellent baseline for any quantum work." 🧵👇

Today I watched "The Big OOPs: Anatomy of a Thirty-Five Year Mistake" [C. Muratori] - amazing presentation and a carefully researched history lesson about OOP, about where the core ideas came from and where some really good ideas got lost: www.computerenhance.com/p/the-big-oo...

The Big OOPs: Anatomy of a Thirty-Five Year Mistake

Our new Majorana Propagation method is out! It can be used either alone as a classical simulation method or in conjunction with quantum subroutines, see @qzoeholmes.bsky.social's thread below. (Btw, it's so efficient that it broke scirate: this and all papers after ours are missing from scirate.)

Hey! On the arXiv today we present `Majorana Propagation’ a new classical algorithm for simulating Fermionic circuits. Depending on your mood... the algorithm can be viewed either as naturally suited to compete with, or collaboratively enhance, quantum hardware simulations.
