Resource-Efficient Bio-Molecular Docking on a NISQ-era Digital Quantum Computer

A hybrid quantum-classical approach for molecular docking is proposed leveraging the MVWCP formalism with a variational full-basis encoding (FBE) strategy, which enables efficient encoding of classical binary variables with Bloch sphere vectors and proves that a global minimizer of the FBE objective can always be chosen to be a pure product state.
