Digital Discovery is delighted to welcome papers for its latest themed collection on Quantum Computing in Chemistry, Material Science and Biotechnology themed collection of Digital Discovery, led by Dr Matthias Degroote (Boehringer Ingelheim Quantum Lab), Prof. Joonho Lee (Harvard University) and Dr Pauline Ollitrault (QC Ware Corp.). If you do not directly work in this field, please do feel free to forward this email to any of your colleagues that might be interested in contributing to this themed collection.
Contributions are welcome in both theory for and applications of quantum computers in chemistry, material science and biotechnology. We would especially like to encourage manuscripts that expand the current area of applicability of quantum computers and introduce innovative ways to discover, characterize and produce new molecules. We will consider near-term and fault-tolerant algorithms as well as improvements over current algorithms and entirely new workflows.
We encourage submissions on topics including, but by no means limited to:
- Synergies between classical and quantum computers that leverage the strengths of both.
- Use of machine learning and data to bring down the cost of quantum computation.
- Tailored algorithms for specific subsets of chemical systems or types of interaction.
- Prediction of chemical properties with data that can efficiently be extracted from a quantum computer.
The deadline for submissions 11 August 2025.
If you would like to contribute to this collection, please let us know by email at digitaldiscovery-rsc@rsc.org, and we will set up a submission link for you to contribute your article.
Promotion of the collection is scheduled for promotion in late 2025, with articles published online as soon as they’re accepted. Authors are welcome to submit original research in the form of a Communication or Full Paper. Authors who would like to contribute a Review article should contact the Editorial office with their proposal. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions for both the journal and the scope of the collection, and inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed collection is not guaranteed.
You can find out more detailed information about our journal scope and our valued editorial board members on our website. If you have any questions about the journal or the collection, please contact us at the above address.
