QUANTUM ALGORITHM FOR PROTEIN FOLDING AND ITS COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY

We have studied applications of quantum algorithm for the problems in bioinformatics. The protein folding problem is known as one of the difficult problems which we do not solve in polynomial time of input data. We constructed a quantum algorithm for the protein folding problem using our new quantum binary search algorithm, and discussed its computtational complexity. We prove that the computational complexity is polynomial of the number of molecular in the simulation.
