Los Alamos Claims Quantum Machine Learning Breakthrough: Training with Small Amounts of Data

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory today announced a quantum machine learning “proof” they say shows that training a quantum neural network requires only a small amount of data, “(upending) previous assumptions stemming from classical computing’s huge appetite for data in machine learning, or artificial intelligence.” The lab said the theorem has direct applications, including […]

Cambridge Quantum Algorithm Solves Optimization Problems Significantly Faster, Outperforming Existing Quantum Methods

In a development that is likely to set a new industry standard, scientists at Cambridge Quantum (CQ) have developed a new algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems that are widespread in business and industry, such as traveling salesman, vehicle routing or job shop scheduling, using near-term quantum computers.

Quantum Machine Learning – An Introduction to QGANs

In this contributed article, data scientists from Sigmoid discuss quantum machine learning and provide an introduction to QGANs. Quantum GANs which use a quantum generator or discriminator or both is an algorithm of similar architecture developed to run on Quantum systems. The quantum advantage of various algorithms is impeded by the assumption that data can be loaded to quantum states. However this can be achieved for specific but not generic data.

Rigetti Computing helps Foster Quantum Machine Learning Startup Ecosystem

While practical Quantum Computing remains somewhere in the future, it is already starting to spark new Startup opportunities. “Quantum machine learning will power some of the most impactful and exciting near-term applications of quantum computing. The startups at the CDL are at the leading edge of this technology and will get early access to Rigetti’s general-purpose quantum hardware and to Forest, one of the most sophisticated quantum programming environments in the world,” said Madhav Thattai, Chief Strategy Officer, Rigetti. “We’re looking forward to working with these pioneering individuals and teams to help create and accelerate the quantum application ecosystem.”
