Azure Quantum Computing
data engineering of the future, especially for designing drugs for neurodegenerative diseases
Microsoft Azure, often just called Azure is the cloud computing service created by Microsoft. Following the current excitement about quantum computing, Microsoft has launched its own solution on the cloud specific for quantum computing, similarly to what announced by Xanadu. The fact that a large company is providing services for this future/current new technology is a good sign indeed.
WHY?
Many computational problem as the molecular Hamiltonian can be solved by this approach. The reason of interest in computational chemistry for quantum computing is given by the fact that it allows to find solutions in a reasonable computational time rather than common computers.
The solution has been already adopted by cutting edge research project mostly focused on physical chemistry investigation as 1Qbit. It is believed that the unified Azure Quantum ecosystem will accelerate your R&D with access to diverse quantum software and hardware solutions. One case study 1Qbit is pursuing is the graph-based similarity for molecules using quantum computing, a problem of interest for pharmaceutical company Biogen while developing drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, the company is…
