Although simulation technologies have already been used to enhance the efficiency of materials development, efforts to reproduce complex reactions have faced difficulties because of the enormous computational complexity required to calculate the electron states that determine the properties of materials. We therefore work to establish chemistry calculation methods using quantum computers, which hold the potential to directly simulate quantum states. Similarly, we aim to create innovative materials that will help CO_{2} reduction by applying this approach to elucidating complex reaction mechanisms and the search for materials.
