A recent study in Journal of the Royal Society Interface explores the potential of quantum computing in biology and medicine, from biomolecule simulation to cancer subtyping using quantum-enhanced machine learning. The authors present a framework for assessing quantum advantages in computational problems across these fields, identifying areas where quantum approaches could provide practical benefits. They highlight the dynamic nature of quantum computing's intersection with biological research, suggesting ongoing developments may soon enable breakthroughs in complex biological and clinical computations.
