IonQ, QC Ware team up on hybrid quantum workflow for drug discovery on Forte via Amazon Braket
  • IonQ partnered with QC Ware to demonstrate a hybrid quantum-classical drug-discovery workflow using IonQ Forte via Amazon Braket.
  • Test modeled the cytochrome P450nor heme active site, calculating electrostatic interaction energy within 0.5 kcal/mol, about 4%, of benchmarks.
  • Result met the 1 kcal/mol chemical-accuracy threshold, supporting earlier candidate ranking and metabolic-risk screening in biopharma research.
  • Workflow used Promethium GPU preprocessing to map a 115-atom system to an 8-qubit active space measured on Forte.
