Advancing Drug Discovery and Material Science Using Quantum Simulations for Molecular Structures

Archana Satish Banait, Manjusha Rahul Tatiya, Pratima Patel +3 more

Quantum simulations are changing the way drugs are found and materials are studied because they can model chemical structures and interactions with a new level of accuracy. This study looks at how to use quantum computing techniques, like Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) and Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithms (QAOA), to make traditional methods better at modelling complex chemical systems. Using quantum physics, these models make it possible to accurately predict molecule traits, reaction paths, and energy states. This speeds up the creation of new drugs and materials. Quantum models help find lead chemicals in drug development by correctly modelling how proteins and ligands interact, how strongly they bind, and how reactions happen. In material science, they make it possible to create new materials with specific qualities, like high-performance catalysts, ways to store energy, and long-lasting materials that can be used in industry. Quantum computing and artificial intelligence work well together to make these models more accurate and scalable, which means they can be used on a big scale. This study also looks at problems like quantum technology limits, fixing mistakes, and making algorithms work better. It suggests combining quantum and traditional methods to make computing more efficient. Case studies show that quantum models can be used to solve real-world problems, such as creating focused medicines and materials that are good for the environment. The results show that quantum models have the power to change everything and speed up creativity in many fields. This study shows how quantum computing can change the future of molecular science by connecting theory and practice. It could lead to big steps forward in drug development and material design that help solve important world problems.

Quantum Computing: Revolutionizing Drug Discovery and Battery Development

G. Deepalakshmi, S.K. Sunori, K.V. Padmavathi +3 more

Quantum computing promises to be a game changer for drug discovery and battery development as it will enable simulations of complex molecular and material systems not possible in classical regimes. Here, we introduce a hardware-aware, hybrid quantum-classical framework designed for practical pharmaceutical and energy problems. Extending state-of-the-art results from quantum machine learning, quantum-inspired optimization, and domain-specific datasets, the model improves both scalability and accuracy as well as interpretability. The proposed method is validated from real-drug and battery chemistry with advantages over the traditional method. This interdisciplinary breakthrough tackles major drawbacks of current quantum approaches and provides a realistic pathway towards industrial implementation in chemistry-led innovation.

Quantum Computing Potentials for Drug Discovery

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.
