Kenneth Merz, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences, and a research team are testing quantum computing鈥檚 abilities in chemistry through integrating machine learning and quantum circuits. Chemistry is one of the areas where quantum computing shows the most potential because of the technology鈥檚 ability to predict an unlimited number of possible outcomes. To determine quantum computing's ability to perform complex chemical calculations, Dr. Merz and Hongni Jin, PhD, decided to test its ability to simulate proton affinity, a fundamental chemical process that is critical to life. Dr. Merz and Dr. Jin focused on using machine learning applications on quantum hardware. This is a critical advantage over other quantum research which relies on simulators to mimic a quantum computer鈥檚 abilities. In this study, published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, the team was able to demonstrate the capabilities of quantum machine learning by creating a

Terbium-161 (Tb-161) is a radiolanthanide that shows promise for use in theranostic nuclear medicine. To obtain Tb-161 in a form amenable for medical use, the isotope must be separated from gadolinium, generally using DGA (N,N,N鈥�,N鈥�-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide) and LN (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) resins.

Cervical artery dissection is a tear in an artery in the neck that provides blood flow to the brain. Such a tear can result in blood clots that cause stroke. A new study has found almost a five-fold increase in the number of U.S. hospitalizations for cervical artery dissection over a 15-year period. The study is published on April 2, 2025, online in Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
