Do we really need Quantum Computers to simulate Quantum Chemistry?

The accurate calculation of the ground state of many-electron systems has been the central goal of quantum chemistry for the last 80 years. Exact methods, such as full CI, can only be applied to systems of a few electrons and it has long been assumed that larger fermionic systems will only be simulated exactly on powerful “quantum computers”.
