Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM Cross 12,000-Atom Barrier in Heterogeneous Quantum-Classical Drug Binding Simulations

A collaboration between Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM Quantum has achieved the largest heterogeneous quantum-classical (HQC) electronic-structure calculation to date, simulating protein-ligand complexes exceeding 12,000 atoms. This research utilized 156-qubit IBM Heron r2 processors and leadership supercomputers to significantly advance molecular size and fragment energy accuracy in drug binding simulations. The team developed an Embedded Wavefunction (EWF) formalism and TrimSQD to efficientl
