> I have a feeling we aren’t going to solve this problem anytime soon, as the simulations required appear to be so large they are beyond our reach. That's what we need quantum computers for! Seriously, crypto breaking problems tend to get all the attention when we are talking about quantum computing, but one of the most promising application of quantum computers is modeling quantum systems. Studying the health impact of substances involves a lot of chemistry, which is a quantum process. A quantum computer could help with modeling the interactions between artificial substances and biomolecules.
