WHEREAS, the Classiq Quantum AI initial promotional video clips were unclear as to its capabilities, which I have since seen as focused on generating code from papers, and thus left me to my imagination;

WHEREAS, my historical proclivity with the Classiq synthesis engine and 200+ other products has been to push everything to its respective breaking points;

WHEREAS, Classiq Quantum AI knows that problems have to be simplified for classical simulation, and consequently simplified molecular simulations to exceed the Classiq engine’s previous record, molecular oxygen (O₂), with benzene (C₆H₆);

WHEREAS, Classiq Quantum AI did these molecular simulations, plus a toy protein folding problem, each from start to finish in roughly 3.5 minutes following a single, short, plain English prompt;

WHEREAS, the results of the simulations, given the necessary simplifications to execute them on the available computational resources, seem to check out;
