*Title: More reasons why quantum chemistry is hard*
*
Abstract: Quantum computing and quantum information are often touted
as machines of the future that offer new ways to calculate properties
of molecules. For the past few months, I have been interested in
substantiating (or refuting) this claim using the well established
field of computational complexity. I'll be presenting a summary of
interesting results from the complexity community that touch on
problems in chemistry and a possible motivation for quantum computers
in chemistry. Finally, I'll outline our preliminary results regarding
the complexity of TDDFT that is being developed in conjunction with D.
Tempel, M.-H. Yung and S. Boixo.*
