AI For Pharma Growth E191: Quantum Computation In Medicine: The Challenges, What Comes After Large Language Models For Medicine
In this episode, we explore the future of medicine beyond artificial intelligence with Joseph Geraci — mathematician, medical scientist, and quantum machine learning pioneer.
While today’s AI breakthroughs and large language models (LLMs) have transformed diagnostics, data analysis, and drug discovery, quantum computing could completely redefine what’s possible in healthcare.
Dr. Geraci breaks down how quantum algorithms, molecular simulations, and quantum machine learning could unlock a new era of precision medicine, drug discovery, and disease taxonomy — computing biology at the speed of biology itself.
He also explains:
- What makes quantum computation fundamentally different from classical AI
- Why current AI models like ChatGPT and medical LLMs face memory and accuracy limits
- How quantum algorithms could solve complex protein folding, molecular binding, and patient stratification problems
- The role of quantum optimization, error correction, and entanglement in solving medical challenges
- The potential of quantum-enhanced digital twins and quantum sensors for diagnostics and clinical research
- Why the next decade will be critical for building the foundations of quantum-powered healthcare
Whether you’re in AI research, biotech, data science, or clinical innovation, this episode offers a visionary look into what comes after AI — and why quantum computation could become medicine’s ultimate game changer.
