The first utility-oriented, agnostic software platform for quantum-centric drug discovery

Project description

Platform-agnostic quantum software for drug research

While quantum hardware is advancing commercially, effective quantum software for real business problems is still lacking. This complexity can hinder non-coding experts from extracting valuable insights. Kvantify has developed Kvaser, an explainable, platform-agnostic quantum software tool designed for end-user operation. The EIC-funded KvasirAccelerator project will create advanced algorithms for quantum chemistry and machine learning to tackle real-life challenges in drug research and development that go beyond the capabilities of classical methods. Kvaser will enable R&D scientists to perform molecular and biochemical simulations on cutting-edge hardware with exceptional speed and accuracy, facilitating precise quantum chemistry calculations and accelerating drug discovery.

Objective

Humanity is exploring the limits of computing to solve the world’s biggest challenges with unprecedented speed and precision. While quantum hardware is being matured into a commercial technology, there is still no quantum software capable of addressing real business problems. Furthermore, quantum computing will inevitably exacerbate the complexity of current computational workflows for non-coding experts to extract knowledge. At Kvantify, we are developing Kvaser, the first platform-agnostic, explainable, customer-centric quantum software tool, to be operated by the end-user. With EIC funding, we will develop advanced algorithms for quantum chemistry and machine learning that will solve real-life drug R&D problems beyond the scope of classical resources. Kvaser will empower R&D scientists to run molecular and biochemical simulations on modern hardware with unmatched speed and accuracy, enabling high precision quantum chemistry calculations for efficient and accelerated drug discovery.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
