A quantum test tied to drug discovery just crossed 12,000 atoms

IBM, Cleveland Clinic, and RIKEN have successfully simulated protein complexes of up to 12,635 atoms using IBM quantum processors and classical supercomputers. This achievement represents the largest biologically meaningful quantum-hardware simulation to date, marking a significant step towards quantum-assisted drug discovery. The hybrid algorithm (EWF-TrimSQD) allowed for simulations 40 times larger and up to 210 times more accurate than previous efforts, demonstrating quantum computing’s growing relevance for complex problems in biology and chemistry.
