Life Sciences & Health Care
Quantum technologies help us truly understand, simulate and optimize the quantum properties of nature. This, in turn, unlocks enormous potential in the areas of biochemistry, pharmacogenomics, medical imaging, and others. We bring these possibilities to life.
Advancing Precision in Life Sciences with Quantum Intelligence
Unlock breakthrough possibilities in drug discovery, diagnostics, and biological simulation through high-fidelity quantum modeling and personalized healthcare pathways.
Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Predict and efficiently simulate the structure, properties, behavior and reactivity of small molecules (today) and large molecules in the near future, including exact methods for complete dynamic simulations – even atomic interactions.
Computer-Aided Drug Design
Accelerate the drug discovery process through achieving faster and higher-quality answers to challenges across Target Identification and Validation, Hit Generation and Lead Optimization. Large prospects for Anti-body and Peptide Therapeutics.
Personalization
Enable healthcare personalization with greater speed and efficacy than previously possible. Large prospects for Precision Medicine, Companion Diagnostics and Pharmacogenetics.
Operational Efficiencies
Enhance the delivery of healthcare services with the resources available, enabling better outcomes for patients within the existing budgetary and operational frameworks.
Metrology & Sensing
Provide ultra-high precision measuring that approaches the physical limits of measurement precision, known as the Heisenberg limits. This makes sub-cellular resolution and sensitivities possible, which enable mapping magnetic ions and nano structures in living cells as well as non-invasive detection of neuronal action.
"Big pharma could apply quantum computing to protein structure and interactions, an opportunity worth $200 billion. For GEM and advanced industries, the advent of quantum simulations of new materials and chemical compounds would make traditional chemical and clinical tests obsolete."
-McKinsey Digital
Use Case: Personalized Medicine Development
When simulating molecules, quantum computing can address this complex computing challenge in an unprecedented way, being a quantum system itself. In the process of drug discovery, the interaction between human proteins and the new medication is closely analysed.
With quantum computing, we can simulate these interactions more accurately and faster than any classical computer could do. Utilizing the unique capabilities, we can break it down to an individual level: Adjusting the treatment to the individual’s needs.
This way, we can speed up the overall drug discovery process, providing timely support to new health challenges. At the same time, we can avoid side effects and cure to the personal need.
