Abstract

The integration of quantum computing and artificial intelligence represents a paradigm shift in the ability of medicine to solve complex challenges. Quantum computing's unparalleled processing power enables the simulation of molecular interactions, decoding of genomic data, and modeling of biological systems at a scale and speed unattainable by classical computers. When paired with advanced AI algorithms, this technological synergy accelerates drug discovery, enhances diagnostic precision, and enables the development of highly personalized therapies. Moreover, these technologies are poised to reduce the time and cost of drug development, improve patient outcomes, and facilitate real-time clinical decision-making. This chapter highlights the importance of promoting the joint application of quantum computing and artificial intelligence to solve complex medical problems. Despite the progress achieved to date, there are current challenges to achieving widespread applications and prospects for this research topic.
