Quantum computing can accelerate research, but the technology needs to advance to make it viable for healthcare.

Quantum computing harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems that are can’t be solved by traditional computers, including today’s supercomputers, according to IBM. Quantum technology can consider numerous variables that interact with each other in complicated ways. In healthcare this offers the potential to advance precision medicine, drug discovery and diagnoses through complex analyses.

Earlier this year, Cleveland Clinic and IBM unveiled the world’s first quantum computer dedicated to healthcare research onsite at Cleveland Clinic’s main campus. The organization’s goal is to accelerate biomedical discovery.

“Quantum computing is a unique way of doing computing that flips traditional computational principles on...
