Title: A Future with Quantum Machine Learning

Abstract

Could combining quantum computing and machine learning with Moore's law produce a true “rebooted computer”? Furthermore, this article posits that a three-technology hybrid-computing approach might yield sufficiently improved answers to a broad class of problems such that energy efficiency will no longer be the dominant concern.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Optimization involves finding the lowest point on a potential energy curve (blue), which is Death Valley even though most water flows to the oceans. Classical optimization (orange) works like raindrops flowing downhill, but simulated annealing allows limited uphill movement (purple). However, quantum computer optimization can use a quantummore » physics« less
