Milestone simulation of biologically meaningful molecules expands quantum-centric supercomputing's role as a scientific tool.
IBM, Cleveland Clinic, and RIKEN simulated a 12,635-atom protein, the largest biologically relevant quantum simulation yet.
KEY POINTS
- A new algorithm, EWF-TrimSQD, enabled simulations of proteins 40 times larger than previous quantum approaches.
- Quantum-centric supercomputing achieved a 210-fold accuracy improvement in a key workflow step over six months.
- IBM's 156-qubit Heron processors completed nearly 6,000 quantum operations using up to 94 qubits for these simulations.
- This advancement signals quantum computers are now tackling real-world biological and chemical problems beyond laboratory benchmarks.
