• Abstract summary: We focus on one specific phase of the molecular docking procedure i.e. Molecular Unfolding (MU) The objective of the MU problem is to find the configuration that maximizes the molecular area, or equivalently, that maximizes the internal distances between atoms inside the molecule. We propose a quantum annealing approach to MU by formulating it as a High-order Unconstrained Binary Optimization (HUBO) Results and performances obtained with quantum annealers are compared with state of art classical solvers.

• Abstract: Molecular Docking (MD) is an important step of the drug discovery process which aims at calculating the preferred position and shape of one molecule to a second when they are bound to each other. During such analysis, 3D representations of molecules are manipulated according to their degree of freedoms: rigid roto-translation and fragment rotations along the rotatable bonds. In our work, we focused on one specific phase of the molecular docking procedure i.e. Molecular Unfolding (MU), which is used to remove the initial bias of a molecule by expanding it to an unfolded shape. The objective of the MU problem is to find the configuration that maximizes the molecular area, or equivalently, that maximizes the internal distances between atoms inside the molecule. We propose a quantum annealing approach to MU by formulating it as a High-order Unconstrained Binary Optimization (HUBO) which was possible to solve on the latest D-Wave annealing hardware (2000Q and Advantage). Results and performances obtained with quantum annealers are compared with state of art classical solvers.

  A fundamental question emerges: what role, if any, do quantum coherences between molecular electron states play in photochemical reactions? The Maximal Entropy (MaxEnt) based Quantum State Tomography (QST) approach offers unique advantages in studying molecular dynamics. We present two methodologies for constructing these operators: one leveraging Molecular Angular Distribution Moments (MADMs) which accurately capture the orientation-dependent vibronic dynamics of molecules. We achieve a groundbreaking milestone by constructing, for the first time, the entanglement entropy of the electronic subsystem: a metric that was previously inaccessible.

  Molecular unfolding problem aims to find the torsional configuration that increases the inter-atomic distance within a molecule.
