Molecular Engineering of an Alkaline Naphthoquinone Flow Battery
Liuchuan Tong,Marc-Antoni Goulet,Daniel P. Tabor,Emily Kerr,Diana De Porcellinis,Eric M. Fell,Alán Aspuru-Guzik,Roy G. Gordon,Michael J. Aziz +8 more
TL;DR: Aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs) have recently gained significant attention as a potential candidate for grid-scale electrical energy storage as mentioned in this paper, and successful implementation of this technol...
A study of heuristic guesses for adiabatic quantum computation
TL;DR: This work introduces a simple form of heuristics: the ability to start the quantum evolution with a state which is a guess to the solution of the problem, and explains the viability of this approach and the needed modifications to the conventional AQC (CAQC) algorithm.

Machine Learning for Scent: Learning Generalizable Perceptual Representations of Small Molecules.
Benjamin Sanchez-Lengeling,Jennifer N. Wei,Brian Lee,Richard C. Gerkin,Alán Aspuru-Guzik,Alexander B. Wiltschko +5 more
TL;DR: This work proposes the use of graph neural networks for QSOR modeling, and shows they significantly out-perform prior methods on a novel data set labeled by olfactory experts, as demonstrated by strong performance on two challenging transfer learning tasks.

Absence of Quantum Oscillations and Dependence on Site Energies in Electronic Excitation Transfer in the Fenna–Matthews–Olson Trimer
TL;DR: In this paper, energy transfer in the photosynthetic Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex of green sulfur bacteria is studied numerically taking all three subunits (monomers) of the FMO trimer and the recently found eighth bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) molecule into account.
A two-qubit photonic quantum processor and its application to solving systems of linear equations

TL;DR: A two-qubit photonic quantum processor is demonstrated that implements two consecutive CNOT gates on the same pair of polarisation-encoded qubits and implements various instances of the quantum algorithm for solving of systems of linear equations.
