As a proof of concept, the team implemented a quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) workflow combining quantum sampling with large-scale classical computation.</p> <p> </p> <h3 id="institutional-and-related-announcements">Institutional and Related Announcements</h3> <ul> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul> <h3 id="international-science-news-and-press-release-distribution">International Science News and Press-Release Distribution</h3> <ul> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul> <h3 id="secondary-coverage-and-commentary">Secondary Coverage and Commentary</h3> <ul> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul>
