11 September, 2023 – The article present a hybrid quantum-classical method for calculating Potential Energy Surface scans, which are essential for designing Metal-Organic Frameworks for Direct Air Capture applications. The primary objective of this challenge was to highlight the potential advantages of employing quantum computing. To evaluate the performance of the model, we conducted total energy calculations using various computing frameworks and methods. The results demonstrate, at a small scale, the potential advantage of quantum computing-based models. We aimed to define relevant classical computing model references for method benchmarking. The most important benefits of using the PISQ approach for hybrid quantum-classical computational model development and assessment are demonstrated.
