QC Ware Unveils Quantum-Classical Chemistry Breakthrough Using IBM Hardware

PALO ALTO, Calif., QC Ware has announced a technology demonstration of a hybrid quantum-classical computational chemistry workflow using Promethium and IBM Quantum hardware.

The demonstration calculated electrostatic interaction energy for nitric oxide reductase by combining GPU-accelerated molecular modeling and classical chemistry methods with quantum measurements performed on IBM's 156-qubit Heron superconducting quantum processor. This was a technology demonstration, not a fully integrated Promethium product capability.

'This demonstration shows how classical and quantum computing can be combined to address meaningful computational chemistry problems,' said Dr. Kin-Joe Sham, Co-Founder and COO at QC Ware.
