Quantum Tech
Accelerating drug discovery with AI and quantum mechanics
Drug discovery has long been compared to assembling a jigsaw puzzle, with new drugs needing to be precisely shaped to fit the proteins in the human body to achieve therapeutic effects. This intricate process is time-consuming and complex, but researchers at Southern Methodist University (SMU) have introduced a new tool to speed up the process: SmartCADD.
Quantum computing: becoming "crypto agile"
In theory, the concept of quantum computing is hugely exciting; using quantum mechanics to solve problems that, historically, have been too complex for conventional computers to resolve.
2026-27 set to be key for quantum industry growth
A recent Omdia survey of 28 quantum computing (QC) vendors headquartered in North America, Europe, Asia & Oceania, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa suggests that 2026-27 will mark a key inflection point for the industry on several important measures of progress, especially as quantum computing vendors face a long and challenging road to large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQC). This view is supported by the recent u...
