This comprehensive book delves into the latest developments in quantum science, spanning both physics and chemistry. Until now, quantum science has been approached from a limited interdisciplinary perspective, lacking a comprehensive exploration from the viewpoints of both physics and chemistry. However, this book is designed not only for theoretical physicists and chemists but also for experimentalists in the fields of physical chemistry and condensed matter physics, recognizing the growing importance of collaboration and interplay between the construction of quantum theory and experimentation. By gaining a deep understanding of cutting-edge quantum science, readers will gain valuable insights and tips for initiating new research projects.

Part I of the book focuses on elucidating quantum electronic structures in cases of strongly correlated copper oxides and heavy elements. It delves into the intricate electronic properties and behavior of these systems, shedding light on their electronic structures, magnetic properties, and other relevant aspects.

Part II explores quantum molecular dynamics through computational approaches and molecular beam experiments. It examines the dynamic behavior of molecules and atoms in the quantum realm, employing advanced computational methods to simulate and interpret experimental data.

Part III delves into the consideration of the lithium problem in the big bang nucleosynthesis scenario using the supersymmetric standard model. It examines the role of lithium in the formation of nucleotides and the implications of its presence or absence on the evolution of the universe.

Part IV introduces the development of quantum computational methods, which are essential tools for solving complex quantum systems. It discusses the theoretical foundations, algorithms, and applications of quantum computing in fields such as quantum chemistry, materials science, and quantum information science.

This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of quantum science, physics, chemistry, and related disciplines. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest developments in quantum theory and experimentation, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and advancing our understanding of the fundamental principles of nature.
