Quantum Computing: Molecular and Protein Simulation via VQE

We explore the use of quantum computing, particularly the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), for simulating molecular and protein behavior. It aims to overcome the limitations of classical computational methods especially for large molecules and disordered proteins. The studies leverage both quantum simulators and actual Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) to assess the feasibility and accuracy of quantum algorithms in predicting ground state energies and folding patterns.
