Quantum software engineering developer Classiq and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC Chile) have launched a joint 12-month research initiative to engineer hybrid quantum-classical machine learning algorithms for advanced biomedical image analysis. Funded through the Avanza UC 2025 competition, the project—titled “Enhancing Pathology through Quantum Computing”—establishes Latin America’s inaugural computational pathology consortium. The project [...] The post Classiq and UC Chile Form Latin America’s First Quantum Pathology Consortium appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
The increasing maturity of quantum software engineering, coupled with growing interest in advanced AI/ML applications in healthcare, makes this a natural step for regional innovation hubs.
This initiative marks Latin America's entry into applied quantum computing for biomedical analysis, signaling regional diversification and potential for sovereign capability in an emerging critical technology.
Latin America now has a dedicated, academically-backed consortium focused on quantum pathology, potentially accelerating hybrid quantum-classical ML applications in medical imaging within the region.

The project will develop specific hybrid quantum-classical machine learning algorithms for biomedical image analysis.
Successful initial results could attract further investment and talent into quantum computing applications for healthcare in Latin America, fostering a regional ecosystem.
This could lead to the development of unique, regionally-driven quantum intellectual property and services, reducing reliance on external technology providers for critical healthcare diagnostics.
