Limitations of the study
Limitations still existed in the current study since Quantum computers are exceedingly difficult to engineer, build and program. QC could make current CADD tools more effective by helping to predict molecular properties with high accuracy. That can affect the development process in several ways, such as modeling how SARS-COV-2 proteins fold and how anti-viral drug candidates interact with biologically relevant proteins. I still believe that quantum computing is likely to transform only the very early stages of pharmaceutical R&D over the coming decades but that it will provide near-term benefits as the technology matures.
