ABSTRACT
The use of quantum computing approaches in drug discovery, development, and delivery is on rise. Quantum computing (QC) is becoming more popular as a cost-saving measure in the research, production, and manufacturing of drugs. The use of molecular dynamics and computation tasks has greatly enhanced drug design and optimization of drug delivery systems. This QC method aids in investigating several issues that are difficult to examine in laboratory studies. This chapter discusses how QC simulations can assign a specific drug target site by anticipating the target, resulting in a successful drug development process. It also highlights the important applications of several algorithms in drug delivery and disease diagnosis. Additionally, computational methodologies for various drug delivery systems and carriers are discussed. This chapter also discusses ongoing challenges in the pharmaceutical industry and concerns regarding the chances of accomplishment of QC concepts and technology.
