Quantum Machine learning: data science's next big thing. – Quantum News

Although topics like qubit scalability, error correction and the race to quantum supremacy highlight the current state of quantum computing, recently there has been a lot of discussion around use cases and applications of the available NISQ systems. The technology has reached a point of maturity where early adopters are looking into the possibility of squeezing out some quantum advantage, now or in the very near future. One direction that has been getting a lot of attention is quantum-machine learning or QML. This is not very surprising considering the massive strides made in machine learning over just the past few years. From breakthroughs in predicting protein folding, to deep fakes and the famous GTP3, these systems are sophisticated, impressively versatile and expected to, or already have, revolutionize many fields and industries.
