A*STAR and NUS Researchers Achieve Qubit Compression for Bio-Molecular Docking on ...

Singaporean researchers from A*STAR and NUS developed a hybrid quantum-classical method that compresses qubit usage for bio-molecular docking problems on IBM's 156-qubit Heron processor, reducing physical qubits by encoding three classical variables per qubit. Their approach demonstrated accurate protein-ligand binding predictions on real quantum hardware, advancing quantum computing applications in drug discovery.
