How can quantum computing be useful for Machine Learning

If you've heard of quantum computing, you might be excited about the possibility of applying it to machine learning applications. I work at Springboard, and we recently launched a machine learning bootcamp that includes a job guarantee. We want to make sure our graduates are exposed to cutting-edge machine learning applications -- so we put together this article as part of our research into the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning. Let's start by examining the difference between quantum computing and classical computing. In classical computing, your data is stored in physical bits and it is binary and mutually exhaustive: a bit is either in a 0 state or in a 1 state and it cannot be both at the same time.
