Study Notes

Biologists face two main challenges in drug discovery: the need to test thousands of variables and the limitation of working with only smaller-scale molecules using classical computers.
Quantum computers can help overcome these challenges by processing all variables simultaneously and allowing the analysis of larger-scale molecules.
Quantum computing in healthcare systems could lead to cost reduction and increased productivity and efficiency.
MRIs can identify areas of light and dark, but quantum imaging solutions can differentiate between tissue types, providing more precise imaging.
Quantum computers can help define the best therapy plan for a patient due to their ability to handle complex problems.
A program is a sequence of statements that tells a computer how to solve a specific problem.
Python's print() function can display various types of data, separate items with different characters, and add a custom string as an ending.
Simple Assignment Statements: assign a specific value to a variable in Python and understand the impact of an assignment.
The Python input() function allows users to input data, which can be converted into different data types.
Python supports simultaneous assignment, allowing multiple variables to be assigned multiple values at once.
Expressions are used to produce new data values in a program.
Python uses indentation to define blocks of code and to enhance readability.
Conditional statements in Python change the flow of a program based on given conditions.
While loops execute a block of code repeatedly until a specific condition is met.
For loops execute a block of code for each element in a collection.
Machine learning programs differ from traditional programming as they are specifically designed to improve performance on a given task using training data and a performance metric.
In the context of machine learning, the task (T) is diagnosing lung diseases from X-ray images; the experience (E) is a dataset of radiologist-verified X-ray images, and the performance metric (P) is accuracy, which measures the percentage of X-ray images correctly classified as normal or abnormal.
