Think AI alone is transforming healthcare? Think again. The real game-changer could be quantum computing, particularly when paired with supercomputers. This isn’t future fiction anymore. It’s happening now. What’s New—and Why It Matters Combining quantum computing and supercomputers enables molecular simulations, like insulin dynamics involving tens of thousands of orbital. Classical systems simply could not…
Europe’s Quantum Moment Europe is not just a consumer of quantum technologies, it’s investing heavily to become a global leader. The Quantum Technologies Flagship commits €1 billion over 10 years to research and commercial pilots. Add Horizon Europe and EuroHPC’s hybrid supercomputers, and you get a uniquely European playbook: strong public co-funding, national champions, and…
The Threat Healthcare runs on trust — but its digital backbone is fragile. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer will run Shor’s algorithm, breaking RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. That means everything from EHRs to connected pacemakers is at risk. And the danger isn’t hypothetical. Adversaries are already engaging in “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) — collecting encrypted medical…
The Promise Pharma spends billions on R&D only to see 90% of drug candidates fail in trials. At the heart of the problem: chemistry is a quantum system, but we’ve been simulating it with classical approximations. Quantum computing, in principle, can simulate molecules and protein folding with physics-native precision, potentially cutting years and billions from discovery…
Quantum computing is the latest shiny object in healthcare IT. Headlines trumpet its ability to solve the unsolvable, to accelerate drug discovery, and to personalise medicine at a level classical AI can only dream of. The reality, however, is a little noisier, literally. In 2025, we are firmly in what researchers call the NISQ era….
