If quantum computers are to deliver benefit to biochemistry, they are not going to work in isolation. With FreeQuantum we provide, implement and demonstrate a computational pipeline for computing free energies of biomolecular systems. It is quantum-ready! arxiv.org/abs/2506.20587

How to use quantum computers for biomolecular free energies

Free energy calculations are at the heart of physics-based analyses of biochemical processes. They allow us to quantify molecular recognition mechanisms, which determine a wide range of biological phe...

I love catching up on my “to read” list of papers on planes.  And today found time to read some recent work on randomized phase estimation arxiv.org/abs/2503.05647 from Gunther et al

Phase estimation with partially randomized time evolution

Quantum phase estimation combined with Hamiltonian simulation is the most promising algorithmic framework to computing ground state energies on quantum computers. Its main computational overhead deriv...
