Abstract

We develop a workflow within the ONIOM framework and demonstrate it on the hybrid computing system consisting of the supercomputer Fugaku and the Quantinuum Reimei trapped-ion quantum computer. This hybrid platform extends the layered approach for biomolecular chemical reactions to accurately treat the active site, such as a protein, and the large and often weakly correlated molecular environment. Our result marks a significant milestone in enabling scalable and accurate simulation of complex biomolecular reactions
