Quantum Computing Community

The Quantum Computing Community of Interest aims to maximize the positive effect of quantum computing on life sciences and healthcare research and development, as quantum computing is the next frontier in IT.

Why is this important?

We want to identify use cases where quantum computing can be transformational and we want to identify a quantum computing challenge to encourage the quantum computing supply-side industry to address important issues emanating from the life science and healthcare R&D community.

What does the community achieve?

  • To maximize the positive impact of quantum computing on the life sciences within its rapidly evolving technological landscape.
  • Supports companies that need help navigating the pathway to quantum computing and those in the quantum computing sector that wish to understand the requirements and needs of the biopharmaceutical industry.
  • Ensures that Pistoia Alliance members are positioned to deploy and gain value from the technology when quantum computing becomes a stable and usable technology.
  • To facilitate collaboration between stakeholders, propose new ideas for funded quantum computing projects, and help interested parties define and articulate potential use cases.
