In an increasingly complex and data-driven landscape, the demand for innovative solutions to optimize processes is growing rapidly.

Against this backdrop, the Hamburg Fraunhofer Institutes (Fraunhofer CML, IAP, IAPT and ITMP) have joined forces to address relevant industrial applications with the help of quantum computing.

Fraunhofer ITMP uses quantum computing to accelerate core phases of drug research. In this movie and a white paper (both German only), we explain the basics and how we have used quantum algorithms to better predict the molecular properties of drug precursor molecules.
