About this research
The research team announced a new quantum algorithm that can efficiently remove a "spin contamination" (a wave function with an undesired spin quantum number). This allows for a new method to correctly obtain a wave function with a desired spin quantum number while performing quantum chemistry calculations of a molecule on a quantum computer.
