定量构效关系(QSAR)建模是早期药物研发的核心计算方法,广泛用于预测化合物毒性、生物利用度和治疗潜力。然而,经典方法难以有效捕捉分子数据中复杂的非线性与高维交互,导致预测准确率下降,引发后期临床失败。本文提出量子多重核学习(QMKL)框架——下一代Q²SAR,利用量子支持向量机(QSVMs)克服这些局限。通过将分子描述符编码至指数级大的量子希尔伯特空间,显著提升非线性建模表达能力。在针对阿尔茨海默病关键靶点DYRK1A的数据集上,QMKL-SVM取得0.8750的AUC,显著优于经典先进梯度提升模型的0.8037。此外,我们建立了基于投影量子核(PQK)与测量加速器的理论与实证路径,有望解决经典数据瓶颈。随着量子计算架构成熟,该框架可推动自主认知架构与自优化药物发现流程,加速生命救治药物的研发进程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship ($\mathtt{QSAR}$) modeling is a foundational computational methodology in early-stage drug discovery, heavily relied upon for predicting compound toxicity, bioavailability, and therapeutic potential. However, classical methods often struggle to effectively map the highly complex, non-linear, and high-dimensional interactions inherent in molecular data, leading to reduced predictive accuracy and costly late-stage clinical failures. In this paper, we present a Quantum Multiple Kernel Learning ($\mathtt{QMKL}$) framework, dubbed Next-Gen $\mathtt{Q^2SAR}$, that leverages Quantum Support Vector Machines ($\mathtt{QSVMs}$) to overcome these classical limitations. By encoding molecular descriptors into exponentially large quantum Hilbert spaces, our approach substantially enhances the expressiveness of non-linear modeling. Benchmarking our quantum-enhanced framework on a dataset targeting the $\mathtt{DYRK1A}$ kinase (a critical target for Alzheimer's disease), the $\mathtt{QMKL}$-$\mathtt{SVM}$ achieves an impressive Area Under the Curve ($\mathtt{AUC}$) score of $0.8750$, significantly outperforming classical state-of-the-art Gradient Boosting models ($\mathtt{AUC} = 0.8037$). Furthermore, we establish a theoretical and empirical pathway toward resolving classical data bottlenecks through projected quantum kernels ($\mathtt{PQK}$) and measurement accelerators. As quantum computing architecture matures, this framework paves the way for autonomous cognitive architectures and self-improving drug discovery pipelines, promising to unlock deeper insights across vast chemical spaces and to accelerate the development of life-saving therapeutics.
