Our formulation of these problems features a simple algebraic form for the Hamiltonian irrespective of the system size and composition. Since exact results are available from for lattice HP chains up to a size of 30, we were able to thoroughly validate our approach. The D-Wave advantage quantum annealer successfully identifies the ground state of the HP model protein chain in 100% of cases. For a few longer protein chains with up to 64 amino acids, where exact enumerations were not available but extensive Monte Carlo studies exist, the D-Wave hybrid annealer found the correct ground states within minutes, once again with a 100% success rate. Applying the same technique to the protein design problem, we found novel HP protein sequences with the same ground state as the largest systems we studied for folding. In contrast to the sequences used for folding, some of our newly found sequences had unique rather than degenerate ground states. 001050137 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$a5111 - Domain-Specific Simulation & Data Life Cycle Labs (SDLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)$$cPOF4-511$$fPOF IV$$x0 001050137 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1050137/files/Mohanty_IAS2025_ProteinFolding.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001050137 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1050137$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver 001050137 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)132590$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001050137 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vEnabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering$$x0 001050137 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001050137 920__ $$lyes 001050137 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Center$$x0 001050137 9801_ $$aFullTexts 001050137 980__ $$aposter 001050137 980__ $$aVDB 001050137 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001050137 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406
