• Abstract: In this work, we explore the implementation possibility of quantum simulation for quantum molecular dynamics, in particular for reaction dynamics, though several implementations have already reported through quantum-classical mixed simulations ({\it Acc. Chem. Res.} {\bf 54} (2021), 4229 and {\it J. Phys. Chem. Lett.} {\bf xx} (2026), XXXX). To analyze this aspect, we examine (1) the conjugacy relation between quantum simulator and the target molecular system, (2) the wave function correspondence in quantum algorithm and classical algorithm for multi-dimensional dynamics, (3) problems arisen from real-valued classical algorithms, and finally (4) geometric phase arisen from the separation among the degrees of freedom (DOFs). As is well known, the aforementioned first and second points play fundamental roles in quantum simulation of quantum many-body systems, and the third and fourth points are theoretical issues that might introduce problems in classical and quantum computing. In this work, we mainly focus on the third and fourth points by analysis of the first two points by reviewing previously reported quantum-classical mixed implementations of quantum simulation. We also consider gauge freedom in high-dimensional quantum molecular dynamics that has been introduced recently, and then discuss possibility of advantages and disadvantages of quantum simulation for molecular reaction dynamics.
