Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today\u2019s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. The ability to tap into these new computational spaces could help researchers identify new medicines and treatments more quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pivotal milestone in our innovative partnership with IBM, as we explore new ways to apply the power of quantum computing to healthcare,\u201d said Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., Cleveland Clinic CEO and President and Morton L. Mandel CEO Chair. \u201cThis technology holds tremendous promise in revolutionizing healthcare and expediting progress toward new cares, cures and solutions for patients. Quantum and other advanced computing technologies will help researchers tackle historic scientific bottlenecks and potentially find new treatments for patients with diseases like cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s and diabetes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arvind Krishna, IBM Chairman and CEO, said: \u201cWith the unveiling of IBM Quantum System One at Cleveland Clinic, their team of world-class researchers can now explore and uncover new scientific advancements in biomedical research. By combining the power of quantum computing, artificial intelligence and other next-generation technologies with Cleveland Clinic\u2019s world-renowned leadership in healthcare and life sciences, we hope to ignite a new era of accelerated discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to quantum computing, the Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator draws upon a variety of IBM\u2019s latest advancements in computing technologies, including high performance computing via the hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence. Researchers from both organizations are collaborating closely on a robust portfolio of projects with these advanced technologies to generate and analyze massive amounts of data to enhance research.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator has generated multiple projects that leverage the latest in quantum computing, AI and hybrid cloud to help expedite discoveries in biomedical research. These include:
\n\u2022 Development of quantum computing pipelines to screen and optimize drugs targeted to specific proteins;
\n\u2022 Improvement of a quantum-enhanced prediction model for cardiovascular risk following non-cardiac surgery; and
\n\u2022 Application of artificial intelligence to search genome sequencing findings and large drug-target databases to find effective, existing drugs that could help patients with Alzheimer\u2019s and other diseases.<\/p>\n

The Discovery Accelerator also serves as the technology foundation for Cleveland Clinic\u2019s Global Center for Pathogen & Human Health Research\u00a0 https:\/\/www.lerner.ccf.org\/pathogen-research<\/a> , part of the Cleveland Innovation District. The centre, supported by a US$500 million investment from the State of Ohio, Jobs Ohio and Cleveland Clinic, brings together a team focused on studying, preparing and protecting against emerging pathogens and virus-related diseases. Through the Discovery Accelerator, researchers are leveraging advanced computational technology to expedite critical research into treatments and vaccines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
