Nanotechnology Molecular Modellers
Designing advanced polymer nanotherapeutics relies on accurately modelling the interactions within very large molecular systems. Classical computers struggle because polymer chains contain millions of interacting atoms, creating an exponential increase in computational complexity. This limitation constrains our ability to predict molecular behaviour and design next-generation medical materials and devices. Our team has extensive experience in developing novel polymeric materials but experimentally formulating and testing them is time-consuming and costly. High-accuracy simulations offer a far more efficient and cost-effective route, allowing us to explore promising candidates before committing to synthesis. By designing ideal polymers computationally, the most promising materials can be directly incorporated into future nanotherapeutics. Quantum computing offers a transformative approach, enabling large-scale simulations that capture the full complexity of these systems. Overcoming classical hardware limits with quantum methods can accelerate the discovery and design of polymer nanotherapeutics, contributing directly to improved human health and wellbeing. This project aligns with the International Year of Quantum themes of quantum for health, quantum for industry, and quantum for discovery, demonstrating how quantum technologies can advance real-world biomedical applications.
