Abstract

Emerging as a breakthrough technology able to transform vast-scale healthcare data processing is quantum computing. For conventional computer methods, the complexity and volume of healthcare dataincluding medical records, genetic sequencing, and real-time patient monitoring datacause great difficulties. In medical research & clinical applications, quantum computingcapable of processing vast amounts of information concurrentlyis a reasonable choice for accelerated data analysis, improved prediction accuracy & better decision-making in general. Using quantum algorithms might improve the accuracy & the efficiency of treatments, disease diagnosis & the medication development as well as tailored approaches. Still, despite its promise, quantum computing is still in its early stage & faces several technical & pragmatic challenges. Hardware restrictions, error rates, and the need for specialized knowledge all limit their general usage. Moreover, particularly in the vital field of healthcare, protecting data security and privacy in quantum environments is of great relevance. While academics are assiduously searching for solutions to these issues, broad useful use is some years off. Still, ongoing development in quantum hardware, hybrid quantum-classical computer architectures, and algorithm improvement often helps new useful applications to arise. The future of quantum- enhanced healthcare solutions will depend on cooperation among lawmakers, computer scientists, and healthcare…
