A Quantum Computing Pipeline for Real World Drug Discovery: From Algorithm to Quantum Hardware (Updated February 17, 2024).

A preprint abstract from biorxiv.org discusses the potential of quantum computing in revolutionizing pharmaceuticals. While previous studies have focused on proof-of-concept, this study aims to develop a quantum computing pipeline specifically designed for real-world drug design problems. The pipeline addresses two critical tasks in drug discovery: determining Gibbs free energy profiles for prodrug activation and simulating covalent bond interactions. The results demonstrate the potential of integrating quantum computing into drug design workflows. However, it is important to note that this preprint has not undergone peer review.
