The current landscape of quantum applications presents a fundamental challenge. High-impact proposals, such as large-scale electronic structure calculations, face a long and costly path to realization due to their large resource requirements, while proposals for applications with a shorter horizon, such as simulation of spin models, are not generally believed to result in transformative impact. Quantum dynamics stands out as a domain where the tradeoff between resource requirements and impact becomes far more favorable. Classically, simulating real time quantum dynamics is significantly harder than static problems, widening the gap between classical and quantum methods, and enabling quantum advantage at smaller system sizes. This translates directly to lower resource demands for meaningful applications. At the same time, these simulations remain highly impactful as many key functional properties of materials, such as charge and energy transfer, are inherently dynamical. In this talk I will present our vision for industrial and scientific applications of quantum computers based on simulations of quantum dynamics, and some of our recent technical results in this direction such as our algorithms for simulating vibronic dynamics, non-adiabatic dynamics at metallic surfaces, and chemical dynamics.
