RE: Quantum Computing: The Next Generation Computing Giants

in #steemstem7 years ago

Well that is a lot of formuli :D Great work though.

Anyway, I study molecular biology and I had an idea. As you wrote, quantum computer can help us to design better drugs. Actually I think it may help us to create ultimate super cool molecules, enzymes that can do literally everything.

The other day I thought how strange it is, that we discover a new protein and we arent simply able to tell its function. Although we know every amino-acid in the sequence, we arent able to tell its 3D shape (and then derive a fucntion from this shape). Our computers are just not enough for this task. So we just have to test them and look at the nature. Every enzyme that we use today to edit genomes are just enzymes that we discovered in nature. And they are far from perfect, they make errors. But we dont know what should we change in order to be more precise.

So maybe in the future we might be able to design molecules, their shapes that will do exactly what we want. Editing genomes with 0 mistakes for example. That would be extremely cool.

On the otherhand, it should not be problem to create something extremely deadly also...
Looking forward what will this revolution bring us.

Yeah, with Quantum Computing you'l get a genius machine with you to do the job for you. But, we may not see it happening at that level in our life.
Thank you for commenting.
