Publisher

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of quantum computing for simulating and predicting biological processes. The core concept involves translating complex biological systems, specifically molecular interactions, into quantum systems represented by quantum states. These quantum states are then subjected to simulation and prediction using quantum computing algorithms. The work aims to address the inherent limitations of classical computing in accurately modeling quantum phenomena within biological systems, such as those involved in photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, and perhaps even consciousness. We present a framework for this approach, highlighting the challenges and opportunities involved. Specifically, we investigate the applicability of quantum algorithms – like Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and Quantum Monte Carlo – to model biological systems. The ultimate goal is to quantify the probability of specific biological events occurring, leading to a fundamentally new approach to biological research and drug discovery. This research proposes a novel methodology for leveraging the power of quantum computation to unlock the secrets of life.
