Quantum computation

As an undergraduate at Haverford College, I did research on quantum computation with Peter Love. I have not kept up with the field, but it appears that the technique we developed for simulating molecular electron dynamics on a quantum computer — which we called the Bravyi-Kitaev transformation — remains promising.
