Article Synopsis
- Quantum computing offers advanced computational power that could transform drug discovery, but current studies often only serve as basic tests without tackling real-world challenges.
- This research introduces a hybrid quantum computing pipeline that targets actual drug design problems, moving beyond typical studies to create practical solutions.
- The study focuses on two key areas: accurately determining Gibbs free energy for prodrug activation and simulating covalent bond interactions, aiming to incorporate quantum computing into real-world drug development processes.
Shortcuts to adiabaticity are powerful quantum control methods, allowing quick evolution into target states of otherwise slow adiabatic dynamics. Such methods have widespread applications in quantum technologies, and various shortcuts to adiabaticity protocols have been demonstrated in closed systems. However, realizing shortcuts to adiabaticity for open quantum systems has presented a challenge due to the complex controls in existing proposals.
