Developing a new drug usually takes 10–15 years and more than $2 billion. In this review we looked at where quantum computing could help: protein structure prediction, molecular docking, simulating protein–ligand interactions, and hybrid quantum–classical QSAR models.
Today’s quantum hardware is still noisy and small, so most practical work uses hybrid quantum–classical methods. The review covers what has been shown so far and what still needs to happen before quantum methods are useful in everyday drug discovery.
