Quantumcomputers simuleren eiwitten met 12.000 atomen met 94 qubits

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM have achieved a major breakthrough in quantum computing by simulating protein-ligand systems containing over 12,000 atoms using 94 qubits. The team modeled two biologically relevant proteins, T4-Lysozyme and Trypsin, in a realistic water environment, representing a 40-fold increase in system size compared to previous quantum chemistry demonstrations. The hybrid approach combined quantum processors with classical supercomputers, with quantum hardware handling the most complex calculations while classical systems processed the results, marking
