- Abstract: The last few years have seen rapid progress in transitioning quantum
computing from lab to industry. In healthcare and life sciences, more than 40
proof-of-concept experiments and studies have been conducted; an increasing
number of these are even run on real quantum hardware. Major investments have
been made with hundreds of millions of dollars already allocated towards
quantum applications and hardware in medicine. In addition to pharmaceutical
and life sciences uses, clinical and medical applications are now increasingly
coming into the picture. This chapter focuses on three key use case areas
associated with (precision) medicine, including genomics and clinical research,
diagnostics, and treatments and interventions. Examples of organizations and
the use cases they have been researching are given; ideas how the development
of practical quantum computing applications can be further accelerated are
described.
