Qunova Computing's HI-VQE quantum algorithm has achieved chemical accuracy at 80 qubits by simulating the 4Fe-4S iron-sulfur cluster, matching the best classical Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method. This quantum-classical hybrid approach used IBM's quantum computer and RIKEN's Fugaku supercomputer, marking a milestone for industrially relevant quantum chemistry simulations with significantly reduced computational cost.
