Quantum Computing in Drug Discovery: A Review of Foundations and Emerging Applications

Pushpalata Patil, Ravindra D Patil, Sandeep Kulkarni

Research Problem: The traditional methods of drug discovery are time-consuming, costly, and at times ineffective. There is a need for more novel approaches that can enhance the processes of discovering new drugs and developing them into usable products. Objective of the Paper: This paper aims to conduct a review of the literature and find how the application of quantum computing can change the way drugs are discovered and processed in practice. Process of Review: The review process involved a comprehensive examination of the available literature and recent advances in the application of quantum computing to drug discovery. The review encompassed major studies, theories, and case studies related to the subject matter, aiming to identify the current state and potential future directions of the domain. Insights of the Review: 1. Primary Building Blocks: With quantum computing, superposition, entanglement, and other principles can be utilised to enable complex computations to be performed at higher speeds using less time than traditional computers. 2. Quantum modelling: Quantum computers are expected to accurately model the interactions of various molecules, which could result in the identification of viable drug candidates. 3. Drug Discovery Processes: Quantum algorithms are capable of faster processing than traditional methods when it comes to solving optimisation problems, such as protein structure prediction and molecular docking, in drug design. 4. Limitations and Challenges: As great as the promise of quantum computing is, it has its limitations and challenges, including hardware limitations, error rates, and the need for specialised algorithms. 5. Future Developments: The ongoing development of quantum hardware and algorithms is expected to enhance the practical applications of quantum computing in drug discovery, enabling the quicker and more cost-effective creation of new drugs.

AI and Quantum Computing for Accelerating Drug Discovery and Precision Medicine

Kavitha K. S., J. Kamalakumari, Gopal Krishna +2 more

This chapter will present how AI and Quantum Computing together can synergistically take the process of drug discovery and precision medicine to the next level. With AI possessing such powerful processing and analytic capabilities for large datasets, this enables the identification of novel drug candidates and optimization of clinical trial processes. Quantum Computing, with its unimaginable computational power, will be in a position to model such complex molecular interactions with much better accuracy in predicting the efficacy of drugs than any other classical approach. They work in collaboration to reduce timelines for drug development, slash costs drastically, and provide personalized treatment to the given individual's genetic, environment, and lifestyle factors. This chapter undertakes a review of the current applications, future trends, and challenges arising from integrating AI and Quantum Computing into pharmaceutical and healthcare industries because of their transformational impact on the future of medicine.

Quantum Computing Potentials for Drug Discovery

Sai Krishna Kandula, Nagaveni Katam, Pranav Reddy Kangari +3 more

The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on the drug discovery process to develop new medications that can help treat various diseases. This process is highly crucial but also very time-consuming, as it involves screening a massive number of chemical compounds to identify those that can be developed into effective treatments. Traditional computing methods are often inadequate for this task due to the complexity and vastness of the data involved. Quantum computing is an emerging field that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to perform complex computations at a much faster pace than classical computers. Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics, which differ significantly from classical computing. Drug discovery involves a process of identifying new drugs with the desired biological activity to treat specific diseases. This process can be quite lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive, often taking many years to develop a single drug. However, quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the drug discovery process. Its ability to perform complex calculations quickly and efficiently could significantly speed up the drug discovery process, making it more cost-effective and accurate. Quantum computing's potential in drug discovery requires further research to fully understand and develop practical applications. The use of quantum computing requires the development of specialized algorithms and software tailored to quantum computing. Further investment in research and development is needed to fully leverage the potential of this technology. This paper explores the potential of quantum computing in drug discovery. We will analyze the benefits of using quantum computing in drug discovery, including faster and more accurate data processing, improved optimization, and more efficient screening of chemical compounds. Our paper will also discuss the challenges and limitations that need to be addressed to fully leverage the potential of quantum computing in drug discovery. This will include discussing potential applications of quantum computing in drug discovery, as well as the need for further investment in research and development to fully realize the potential of this technology. Overall, our paper will provide a comprehensive analysis of the potential of quantum computing in drug discovery, exploring both the benefits and challenges associated with this technology and providing recommendations for future research and development.
