Will this lead to a quantum leap forward? Quite possible!
IBM is a long story from mainframe powerhouse to quantum chemistry!
Unfortunately, the article below is mostly a historical retrospective and a kind of marketing piece!
"Today, the entire microchip manufacturing industry depends on the photoresist process. ...
The chemistry involved is too complex for even the most powerful supercomputers in the world to simulate effectively. ... " ... Already, we’ve shown that quantum computers can simulate small molecules that mimic parts of a photoresist.” ...
Recently, a joint JSR-IBM Quantum research team successfully simulated a smaller molecule with similar behaviors to a PAG [chemical components known as photo-acid generators]. This showed that in principle it should be possible to simulate the PAGs themselves as quantum computers scale. ..."
