I will give a brief overview of the recent advances in both quantum computer hardware and software. Then present the challenging problems in quantum computing for complex chemical systems focusing on electronic structure calculations. I will present three related approaches to electronic structure calculations: The quantum circuit model, the adiabatic quantum computing model and the quantum machine learning approach. Finally, I will discuss the opportunities, open questions and challenges in the field of quantum computing for quantum chemistry.
