IBM and Algorithmiq Pushing AI Quantum Computing for Health Care

IBM is one of the companies most focused on quantum computing and general artificial intelligence (AI). The advances made by IBM's Watson platform and the quantum computing team out of IBM Research are proof of that leadership. IBM recently announced the massive Osprey, which is one of the most advanced quantum computers in the world. IBM also announced a partnership with Algorithmiq out of Finland that is developing a quantum simulation platform focused initially on health care and materials science. The interesting result should be a significant improvement in related drug discovery efforts that, given quantum computing's massive performance advantage with huge datasets, should help advance new drug development while significantly lowering side effects once finished.
