Qubit Pharmaceuticals, a French startup specializing in molecular modeling and simulation using quantum physics, has partnered with Nvidia, a well-known American company among gamers specializing in the design of graphics processors, graphics cards, and graphics chips. . , to develop an ultra-powerful computing platform.
Quantum computing: the next step
The search for drugs through simulation and modeling requires unprecedented computing capabilities and the future of this field, particularly in the discovery of new drugs, will lie mainly in the hybrid use of classical supercomputers and quantum computers. Which is why the startup has partnered with Nvidia.
Quantum calculations will make it possible to solve mathematical problems that are impossible to solve with current equipment. Until this technology is developed, the partnership it concludes with Nvidia “allows us to emulate quantum computers. That is, reproducing the calculations of quantum computers, which will be available in the future, with classical hardware”, greeted Robert Marino.
