Blockchain technology in quantum chemistry: A tutorial review for running simulations on a blockchain

Hanson‐Heine, Magnus W. D.; Ashmore, Alexander P.

Abstract

Simulations of molecules have recently been performed directly on a blockchain virtual computer at atomic resolution. This tutorial review covers the current applications of blockchain technology for molecular modeling in physics, chemistry, and biology, and provides a step-by-step tutorial for computational scientists looking to use blockchain computers to simulate physical and scientific processes in general. Simulations of carbon monoxide have been carried out using molecular dynamics software on the Ethereum blockchain in order to facilitate the tutorial.
