Inside Short The Cleveland Clinic-IBM team demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical workflow to estimate the electronic structure of the 303-atom Trp-cage protein using the IBM Quantum Heron r2. The process combines wavelet-based processing to classify proteins into groups and sample-based quantum diagonalization to solve complex electronic structures. The approach goes beyond the Trp-cage and can support … Read more
