The toy works because it

As of today, I have quietly moved 478,808 virtual Compounds through a quantum-enhanced drug discovery machine in my back office in Oklahoma. Today I hit a nice milestone on the Citizen Scientist  page of QuantumCURE Pro™  and the numbers made me smile, so I’m sharing them. The Raw Numbers Compounds processed (Citizen Scientist):  478,808 Compounds that made it into the Golden List:  30 Hit rate: What does that mean? In industry, typical virtual screening or HTS hit rates ar

QuantumCURE Pro ™ screen shots - Round two of QuantumCURE pro™ software validation is officially in the books. Some people pick up fishing or golf in retirement. I enjoy those too, but for the last few years I’ve been teaching myself quantum computing, cheminformatics, and how to build full cancer drug discovery portals. Why? People ask me that a lot. My answer is simple: why not? I want to be useful, and I still have work to do. I sit in a cold Oklahoma garage, lift heavy
