IBM’s recent experiments in a noisy 127-qubit processor showcased the successful measurement of accurate expectation values for circuit volumes that surpasses the capabilities of brute-force classical methods. This achievement serves as compelling evidence for the utility of quantum computing in the pre-fault-tolerant era and holds immediate potential across different fields. As we expand our quantum technology stack, we work with pioneering organizations to advance the value of quantum computing within material science, finance, high-energy physics or healthcare and life sciences (HCLS). In this talk, I will provide an overview of applications in HCLS, and the IBM-Cleveland Clinic partnership. I will review the potential of combining quantum computing with AI and HPC to overcome the limitations of current technologies and make groundbreaking discoveries in healthcare.
