💥 How much energy can be squeezed into chemical bonds before reality objects? A part of my scientific journey has been focused on answering that question, by both modeling and making extremely energetic materials. In this blog post, I reflect on that pursuit rahmlab.com/2025/07/23/a... #chemsky

Machine learning + quantum computation of chemistry. It doesn’t get more “it”. Great collaboration - we’ve learned a lot!

New pre-print from PhD student Hang Zou on warm-starting the variational quantum eigensolver using flows: Flow-VQE! Flow-VQE is parameter transfer on steroids: it learns how to solve a family of related problems, dramatically reducing the aggregate compute cost!
