A Quantum Walk Across Biological Networks: A Demonstration on a 40-Qubit Superconducting Processor
A joint team from Algorithmiq and IBM Quantum has run a discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) on complex networks drawn from protein-protein interaction (PPI) data, using 40 qubits of real quantum hardware. Rather than accept the extreme circuit depth demanded by conventional dense encodings, the researchers traded depth f...
