Quantum Computing Exploration for Drug Discovery on AWS is an open-source solution that allows researchers and quantum computing advocates to design and run computational studies in the field of drug discovery. With this solution, you can access quantum computers via the Amazon Braket service. The Amazon Braket Hybrid Job feature allows you to use classical computing and quantum computing resources to evaluate experiment values such as cost, time, and performance. The solution comes with built-in sample code for certain drug discovery problems, such as molecular docking, protein folding, RNA folding, and retrosynthetic planning, to help you get started with quantum computing in the field.
The overall architecture is shown as below:
For detailed description of architecture, please refer to the Architecture Page
This solution deploys the Amazon CloudFormation template in your AWS Cloud account and provides the URL for Notebook Experiment about drug discovery problems.
