The workflow combined GPU-accelerated preprocessing on QC Ware's Promethium platform with quantum measurements on IonQ's Forte trapped-ion computer via Amazon Braket, using an 8-qubit active-space model. Results landed within 0.5 kcal/mol of classical benchmarks, inside the 1 kcal/mol chemical accuracy threshold and more than double the accuracy of standard classical mean-field methods, suggesting potential to improve drug candidate ranking and identify metabolic risks earlier. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
