Penalty-free quantum optimization applied to lattice protein folding

Leif Gellersen, Anders Irbäck, Lucas Knuthson +1

Identifying minimum-energy structures of lattice proteins is a challenging discrete optimization problem. Quantum approaches such as analog quantum annealing and the gate-based qua…

Folding lattice proteins confined on minimal grids using a quantum-inspired encoding

Anders Irbäck, Lucas Knuthson, Sandipan Mohanty

Steric clashes pose a challenge when exploring dense protein systems using conventional explicit-chain methods. A minimal example is a single lattice protein confined on a minimal…

Designing lattice proteins with variational quantum algorithms

Hanna Linn, Lucas Knuthson, Anders Irbäck +3

Quantum heuristics have shown promise in solving various optimization problems, including lattice protein folding. Equally relevant is the inverse problem, protein design, where on…

Folding lattice proteins with quantum annealing

Anders Irbäck, Lucas Knuthson, Sandipan Mohanty +1

Quantum annealing is a promising approach for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Folding a protein sequence into its minimum-energy structure…
