Scaling Quantum Optimisation Beyond Hardware Limits for Real-World Scientific Workloads: Genome Assembly on Current Quantum Hardware
Namasi G Sankar, Georgios Miliotis, Simon Caton
Genome assembly is important in infectious disease surveillance, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and cancer genomics. The task of reconstructing full genomic sequences from fragmented reads, can be framed as a large scale combinatorial optimisation problem. Recent advances in quantum computing have introduced new…
