Quantum Computing in Healthcare
S. V. K. R. Rajeswari, Govind Kumar Pandey
Transformative impact and change can be acquired by quantum computing in the field of medical sciences and clinical care. This chapter explores the revolutionary prospects of quantum physics, that is, superposition and entanglement, with its application in medical sciences and healthcare. Additionally, a comprehensive framework of the technology is presented in this chapter in the facets of quantum artificial intelligence applications, drug discovery, personalized treatment, biomarker discovery, and data management. The chapter examines the concepts from quantum computing to advanced healthcare from next-generation applications. Despite a transforming potential, challenges due to technical complexities, ethical and regulatory concerns, high cost, and limited accessibility from the unification of quantum computing with healthcare are also presented. A practical roadmap is discussed at the end of the chapter to integrate multidisciplinary technologies for creating smart quantum healthcare solutions. Actionable insights are offered in the section for healthcare and biomedical scientists, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies, public health management, and startup companies to dive into the possibilities that quantum computing can provide in healthcare.
