All Three Projects Powered by QuEra Computing Contributions Move to Phase Two of Wellcome Leap's Quantum for Bio Challenge, Focused on Healthcare and Biology Applications
This project will demonstrate how this process can harness the combined power of quantum computing and classical simulation methods to tackle the crucial task of drug discovery for myotonic dystrophy, a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting and often affects the electrical conduction system of the heart, breathing and swallowing muscles, bowels, and the lens of the eye and brain. Accelerating Drug Discovery Using Programmable Quantum Simulation The project, led by Harvard University, MIT, and QuEra, aims to develop and scalably implement quantum simulation algorithms that can accelerate computer-aided drug discovery.
"We hope that the project will be an exemplar that paves the way for wider impact across the pharmaceutical sector.” "As we move into Phase Two, we are thrilled to continue contributing our neutral-atom quantum computing expertise to these transformative healthcare and biology projects,” said Nathan Gemelke, co-founder and Chief Technology Strategist, QuEra Computing, "The transition to large-scale classical simulations is a significant step toward demonstrating the practical impact of quantum algorithms in real-world applications.
