Abstract

With the emergence of ever-improving quantum computers , technology is making its way to revolutionize many fields, and the medical sector is no exception. Recent efforts have explored applications of quantum computing in areas such as drug discovery, patient privacy, and information security. It is expected that, with improved and stable quantum computing technologies, the medical sector will benefit significantly in many areas, including efficient patient care, reduced clinical trial durations, enhanced imaging technologies, and post-quantum cryptography, to name a few. In this work, we highlight recent advancements in the medical sector driven by quantum computing, encompassing computation, optimization, security, machine learning, data processing , simulation, and healthcare perspectives. We also discuss the limitations of current technologies, and the challenges associated with the quantum computing revolution.
