A drug enzyme needs 4.6 million qubits
Modelling one drug-metabolism enzyme takes 4.6 million qubits and 73 hours, on paper. No announced roadmap reaches that; use it as a planning yardstick.

No quantum roadmap reaches battery design
Simulating one battery electrolyte molecule needs 16,382 error-protected units; no announced machine reaches that. Battery makers stay on classical tools.
-
One molecule needs four million qubits
A paper with Google Quantum AI sizes one FeMoCo simulation at four million qubits and 3 days. No announced roadmap reaches that; nothing to buy today.

Materials shortcut waits on quantum hardware
A paper calculation shortens the quantum route to modelling electrons in materials. It needs error-corrected machines not yet built: plan, don’t buy.

Google cuts quantum chemistry cost on paper
Google cut the estimated cost of molecule simulation more than a thousandfold, on paper. For drug or battery research: a planning figure, not a tool yet.

ExxonMobil’s fiber molecule needs 4810 qubits
ExxonMobil and IBM count 4810 dependable qubits to model one carbon-fiber precursor; no machine ran it. Only one vendor’s roadmap promises that size.
