"Earlier this year, we projected that 2021 would be the year of quantum computing for drug discovery, positing the idea that this is one of only a few areas where there is big ROI to offset the work required to map codes to quantum systems.

We’ve pointed to a number of companies that are exploring quantum for drug discovery, although it seems much of the momentum on the systems side has been around IBM. The tide might be shifting with quantum annealing systems maker D-Wave finding less publicized inroads at companies, including GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and outperforming its quantum rival."
