Two years ago, Google announced that they had reached a new milestone in quantum computing that they refer to as "quantum supremacy". They claimed that their quantum chip had performed a task that would take thousands of years to simulate on the largest existing supercomputer...
Machine Learning (ML) for Ligand Based Virtual Screening (LB-VS) is an important in-silico tool for discovering new drugs in a faster and cost-effective manner, especially for emerging diseases. We propose a general-purpose framework combining a classical Support Vector Classifier (SVC) algorithm with quantum kernel estimation for LB-VS on real-world databases, ...
