Quantum-centric supercomputing simulates 12,635-atom protein

The scale of chemical simulations with quantum computing has increased significantly in just the last few months. In the latest milestone in this field, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM used a quantum supercomputing (QCSC) framework to calculate the electronic structure of a pair of large protein-ligand complexes, reaching a scale of 12,635 atoms in the largest simulation.
