Abstract
Quantum computing can revolutionize healthcare by solving complex problems that ordinary computers cannot. This chapter discusses the pros and cons of quantum computing in healthcare. Drug R&D offers a great possibility. Quantum computers can correctly model molecular interactions and chemical processes, making it easier to search enormous chemical spaces for drug candidates. This could speed up drug discovery and produce more effective and targeted treatments. Quantum computing has great potential in personalized medicine. Quantum algorithms allow healthcare providers to evaluate genomic data and find complex genetic patterns. This helps personalize healthcare by creating medicines and preventive measures according to each person’s genetic profile. However, quantum computing in healthcare has challenges. The high cost and limited accessibility of quantum technologies hinder its widespread application. The complexity and expertise required to construct and operate quantum systems also hinder their widespread adoption. Despite these challenges, quantum computing in healthcare has clear benefits. With technology improving, the healthcare business must explore and invest in quantum computing. The industry will uncover novel illness prevention, diagnostic, and treatment options, improving patient outcomes and creating a stronger, fairer healthcare system.
