Keeper L. Sharkey Quantum Chemistry And Computing For The Curious Jun 2026

A distinguishing feature of Sharkey’s work is the practical integration of code. The book often utilizes and open-source quantum frameworks (such as Qiskit or Cirq ). Readers are encouraged to run "toy models" of molecules (like the Hydrogen atom $H_2$ or Lithium Hydride $LiH$) to see how quantum algorithms calculate bond lengths and ground state energies.

A quantum electron is more like a cloud of possibility. Before you look, it isn’t here or there —it is everywhere it could be , all at once. We describe this with a (let’s call it Ψ, or “psi”). Ψ² tells you the odds of finding the electron in any spot. We describe this with a (let’s call it Ψ, or “psi”)
