About Google's Self-Proclaimed Quantum Supremacy and its Impact on Artificial Intelligence - KDnuggets

Last week, Google sparked controversy in the scientific community by claiming that it has achieved the anticipated milestone known as quantum supremacy. In a paper published in Nature, Google described the experiments conducted on a new quantum machine, code named Sycamore, which proof the famous benchmark. It only took a few hours for IBM, Google's archrival in the race towards quantum dominance, to publish a paper refuting Google's claims sparking a passionate debate within the computer science community. Despite the controversy surrounding Google's claims, there is no doubt that the release of Sycamore represents a major milestone to demonstrate the viability of quantum systems and it has profound ramifications across other technology fields. In the case of artificial intelligence(AI), there has been a lot of speculation in terms of how the advent of quantum computing will affect AI programs. However, not many people think about how AI can influence the development of quantum computing.
