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…
