Quantum Algorithm Tested on a Commercial Quantum Device Can Help Discover Drugs

Alexandra de Castro
PASQAL has successfully implemented for the first time an algorithm on a commercial neutral atoms quantum device to tackle a critical molecular biology problem in drug discovery. This project has been carried out in collaboration with Qubit Pharmaceuticals. Proteins are large molecules that play critical roles in our bodies, such as helping build and repair tissues, drive metabolic reactions, and maintain fluid balance. However, because proteins are responsible for such essential processes,...
