I wasn't able to dig up too much, but the introduction to a paper [1] by some Google folks provides a bit of insight into what might be possible:
> In particular, quantum simulation of molecular
energies, which enables numerically exact prediction of
chemical reaction rates, promises significant advances in
our understanding of chemistry and could enable in silico
design of new catalysts, pharmaceuticals, and materials.
