SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, and BOSTON, USA, Aug 13, 2024 - QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, and Quantum Intelligence Corp. (QIC), a South Korean pioneer in AI-driven drug development, have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration is set to transform the way drugs are discovered and developed by harnessing QuEra's cutting-edge neutral atom-type quantum computers.
The partnership will utilize the extraordinary computing power of QuEra's quantum computers to boost the performance of QIC's QUEST platform. This integration of quantum computing with artificial intelligence aims to modernize the traditional approaches to drug development, making the process faster, more precise, and more efficient.
Dr. Hwanho Choi, CEO of QIC, commented on the partnership, "At Quantum Intelligence, we are at the forefront of merging quantum and AI technologies to innovate within the biopharmaceutical industry. Our work with QuEra Computing will allow us to accurately detect potential side effects at the early stages of drug development, greatly reducing risks and improving the safety and effectiveness of new treatments."
QIC's QUEST platform uses algorithms that analyze how electronic charges are distributed in molecules to predict how a drug will behave in the body, evaluating its effectiveness and safety. This partnership will leverage QuEra’s specialized knowledge in quantum computing to enhance these predictions, thus significantly accelerating drug development.
QuEra's neutral-atom quantum computers combine system size, coherence, and advanced processing modes. These computers offer a promising path to large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Since November 2022, QuEra’s first-generation neutral-atom quantum computers have been publicly accessible via a large public cloud service, and they remain the only neutral-atom platform available for public use. QuEra leads the neutral-atom market, offering dynamic qubit manipulation (qubit shuttling) for flexible and efficient quantum computations. Operating at room temperature, QuEra’s computers are built to integrate seamlessly with classical computing infrastructure.
"This partnership marks an important step in applying quantum computing to drug discovery," said Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer of QuEra Computing. "By combining our strengths in quantum technology with QIC's advanced drug development platform, we hope to achieve significant improvements in how quickly and accurately new medicines are developed and brought to market."
