I will illustrate how quantum computing can advance our understanding of the natural world, enabling access to physics beyond the reach of conventional experimental approaches. For example, coupling quantum computers to experimental systems can facilitate novel methods for learning properties of quantum many-body states and quantum many-body dynamics which are otherwise inaccessible. Empirical evidence supporting theoretical findings will be presented. I will also discuss the role of quantum information in explaining physical phenomena with examples in condensed matter physics and quantum gravity.
