Chemistry is one of the areas where quantum computing shows the most potential because of the technology's 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's 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 Cleveland Clinic /articles/cleveland-cavaliers-and-cleveland-clinic-agree-to-historic-25-year-partnership-extension/?sc=rsin /articles/cleveland-cavaliers-and-cleveland-clinic-agree-to-historic-25-year-partnership-extension/?sc=rsin Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:05:37 EST CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Clinic have agreed on a 25-year extension of their partnership, lengthening the relationship to more than 55 years altogether. The extension solidifies the relationship as one of the longest continuous partnerships between a professional sports organization and a healthcare provider.

Researchers identified genetic factors in progression and FDA-approved drugs that can potentially be repurposed for PD treatment. The npj Parkinson's Disease report uses an approach called "systems biology," which uses AI to integrate and analyze multiple different forms of information from genetic, proteomic, pharmaceutical and patient datasets to identify patterns that may not be obvious from analyzing one for of data on its own.
