Quantum simulation research in Cameroon

The quantum simulation research in Cameroon focuses on a wide range of topics, including quantum dynamics of open systems, quantum associative memory, variational quantum algorithms, quantum optomechanics, and molecular physics. Its work encompasses comparative studies on the structures and relative stabilities of ammonia clusters at different temperatures using DFT and ab initio methods, as well as the investigation of solvation energies of protons in ammonia across varying temperatures. Additionally, they have contributed to enhancing distant entanglement in PT-symmetric optomechanical systems and developing linear and non-linear algorithms for quantum associative memory, particularly applied to the diagnosis of tropical diseases. These contributions highlight an interdisciplinary expertise bridging theoretical quantum physics with practical applications in chemistry and life sciences.

Currently, the Quantum Simulation Group is actively working on establishing a Master’s program in Applied Molecular Physics. This program aims to train students with advanced expertise in molecular physics while meeting international standards in machine learning, quantum computing, and molecular simulation. This initiative reflects a commitment to equipping the next generation of physicists with cutting-edge skills that address both academic and industry needs.
