[Abstract]
Methodological paradigm in computational materials science has changed over time, from model-based approaches to a recent trend of materials informatics. To further this methodological innovation, however, there are very critical challenges to overcome including insufficient computational power for first-principles calculations in practical scales and data analysis of large-size databases and the lack of efficient algorithms dedicated to large-size databases. Very recently, quantum computers have attracted a great deal of attention from public and private sectors as they are claimed to have the potential to restructure existing digital ecosystems. In particular, a recent report on quantum supremacy, meaning that quantum computers outperform classical computers for a certain problem, adds expectation on the availability of quantum computers in near-future. In this seminar, we will look over the current status of these efforts, with emphasis on application to materials informatics.
