To speed up the discovery of new medicines and treatments, IBM and Cleveland Clinic have installed the world’s first quantum computer solely for healthcare research at the Cleveland-IBM Discovery Accelerator clinic, located on the latter’s campus.
The IBM Quantum System One is also the first onsite, private sector IBM-managed quantum computer in the U.S., utilizing a generative toolkit and modeling capabilities to apply AI and quantum mechanics to problems that the most powerful supercomputers cannot solve.
Announced back in October, the Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator will develop quantum computing pipelines to screen and optimize drugs targeting specific proteins; refine a quantum-enhanced prediction model for cardiovascular risk after non-cardiac surgery; and apply AI to genome sequence searchers and large drug-target databases...
