Complex Networks from Classical to Quantum

Recent progress in applying complex network theory to problems in quantum information has resulted in a beneficial crossover. Complex network methods have successfully been applied to transport and entanglement models while information physics is setting the stage for a theory of complex systems with quantum information-inspired methods. Novel quantum induced effects have been predicted in random graphs---where edges represent entangled links---and quantum computer algorithms have been proposed to offer enhancement for several network problems. Here we review the results at the cutting edge, pinpointing the similarities and the differences found at the intersection of these two fields.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX 4-1, accepted versio

Cheminformatics: A Patentometric Analysis

Cheminformatics has entrenched itself as a core discipline within chemistry, biology, and allied sciences, more particularly in the field of Drug Design Discovery and Development. The article begins with a patent analysis of the progressing field of cheminformatics from 1996 to early 2021 using the Relecura and Lens patent database. It proceeds with a description of patents in various domains and aspects. The eye-catching mind map shows the landscape of cheminformatics patent search. The results reveal the star rating-wise patent counts and the trends in the sub-technological research areas. At the end of the article, quantum clustering and eminent directions towards the future of cheminformatics have been discussed. This study would provide the directions to academicians, techno enthusiasts, researchers, stakeholders, or investors and helps increase the awareness of the potential of cheminformatics and quantum clustering
