IBM and Partners Achieve 210x Protein Simulation Accuracy
Scientists from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM used quantum computers to simulate a 12,635-atom protein complex, improving accuracy 210 times over previous methods. A separate quantum test involving 60 electrons completed in roughly two minutes, versus 100 hours on traditional systems. The breakthroughs signal that quantum computing is maturing into a practical scientific tool.
