Azure Quantum is Microsoft's cloud-based platform for quantum computing.

It lets you design materials and chemicals by combining:

• Advanced AI
• Natural language processing
• Chemistry

Scientists can now simulate complex reactions with unmatched scale, speed and accuracy. pic.twitter.com/vGJs4X5Wvf

Azure Quantum Elements helps scientists:

• Bring products to market faster — 6-month projects to one week
• Increase the search space for new materials — Thousands to millions
• Speed up chemistry simulations — 500,000x faster

This is like compressing a year into one minute.

Scale: Scientists can explore 1.5 million potential configurations in complex reactions

Speed: Incorporates Microsoft’s specialized AI Chemistry models, trained on millions of data points

Accuracy: A quantum supercomputer will enable predictive chemical design at 100x accuracy

Human progress has always been defined by materials.

Stone age → bronze age → iron age → silicon age

Now imagine ChatGPT for material and chemical design.
