The explosive growth of genomic information calls for computational methods to handle complex sequence analysis and genome assembly assays. Based on the principles of superposition and entanglement, quantum computing represents an another way of computation to achieve potentially faster and more efficient operations than classical systems. This article offers a comparative overview of 4 major studies dedicated to the use of QC in genomics, spanning theoretical algorithmical conceptualization, systematic literature mapping, analyses on practical challenges in QC-aided genomics and hybrid Q-C designs. The review indicates that there is potential for significant speed-up based on theoretical formulation, while current applications are limited by hardware resource constraint, data-loading latency and scalability. Hybrid models, in particular those that hybridize quantum annealing with classical optimization, seem to offer the most practicable route to near-term genomic computing. The analysis also shines a light on the increasingly pivotal positions that quantum-inspired approaches and hybrid orchestration systems are playing as crucial stepping stones towards full-quantum advantage. The results suggest that quantum computing is in its infancy as far as genomic analysis is concerned but the potential seems to be promising for future bioinformatics research and applications. Such opportunities are only accessible with further advancements in quantum hardware, data encoding and benchmark development.

We assess the potential of quantum computing to accelerate computation of central tasks in genomics, focusing on often-neglected theoretical limitations. We discuss state-of-the-art challenges of quantum search, optimization, and machine learning algorithms. Examining database search with Grover's algorithm, we show that the expected speedup vanishes under realistic assumptions. For combinatorial optimization prevalent in genomics, we discuss the limitations of theoretical complexity in practice and suggest carefully identifying problems genuinely suited for quantum acceleration. Given the competition from excellent classical approximate solvers, quantum computing could offer a speedup in the near future only for a specific subset of hard enough tasks in assembly, gene selection, and inference. These tasks need to be characterized by core optimization problems that are particularly challenging for classical methods while requiring relatively limited variables. We emphasize rigorous empirical validation through runtime scaling analysis to avoid misleading claims of quantum advantage. Finally, we discuss the problem of trainability and data-loading in quantum machine learning. This work advocates for a balanced perspective on quantum computing in genomics, guiding future research toward targeted applications and robust validation.
The recent biotechnological progress has allowed life scientists and physicians to access an unprecedented, massive amount of data at all levels (molecular, supramolecular, cellular and so on) of biological complexity. So far, mostly classical computational efforts have been dedicated to the simulation, prediction or de novo design of biomolecules, in order to improve the understanding of their function or to develop novel therapeutics. At a higher level of complexity, the progress of omics disciplines (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) has prompted researchers to develop informatics means to describe and annotate new biomolecules identified with a resolution down to the single cell, but also with a high-throughput speed. Machine learning approaches have been implemented to both the modelling studies and the handling of biomedical data. Quantum computing (QC) approaches hold the promise to resolve, speed up or refine the analysis of a wide range of these computational problems. Here, we review and comment on recently developed QC algorithms for biocomputing, with a particular focus on multi-scale modelling and genomic analyses. Indeed, differently from other computational approaches such as protein structure prediction, these problems have been shown to be adequately mapped onto quantum architectures, the main limit for their immediate use being the number of qubits and decoherence effects in the available quantum machines. Possible advantages over the classical counterparts are highlighted, along with a description of some hybrid classical/quantum approaches, which could be the closest to be realistically applied in biocomputation.
The exponential growth of genomic data has transformed evolutionary biology, enabling large-scale analysis of genetic variation, phylogenetic relationships, and adaptive mechanisms across species. However, classical computational approaches increasingly struggle with the combinatorial complexity, high dimensionality, and nonlinear interactions inherent in genomic datasets. This study explores how quantum-enhanced data analysis can augment evolutionary biology by enabling more efficient modeling of genomic variation and species adaptation. By leveraging quantum computing principles such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum parallelism, quantum algorithms offer the potential to accelerate sequence alignment, genotype–phenotype mapping, evolutionary optimization, and adaptive landscape exploration. Through qualitative synthesis of research in quantum computing, computational genomics, and evolutionary theory, this paper examines how quantum-enhanced frameworks can improve the detection of adaptive patterns, epistatic interactions, and evolutionary constraints. The analysis highlights potential applications in phylogenomic reconstruction, population genetics, and predictive modeling of species responses to environmental pressures. While acknowledging current technological limitations, the study argues that quantum-enhanced genomic analysis represents a promising pathway toward more scalable, precise, and predictive evolutionary models. Ultimately, this work positions quantum computing as a transformative tool for advancing our understanding of biological evolution and species resilience in rapidly changing ecosystems.
