Researchers Use Quantum Computer to Improve AI Predictions

AI models have been helping with predictions for a while now. Doctors, weather forecasters and stock brokers all use AI to try to peek into the future. Inside the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Germany, researchers have been experimenting with an AI model and a quantum computer. The quantum computer helps the AI with complex predictions it can’t handle alone.

The research team from University College London, who published their findings on Friday in the journal Science Advances, say that one day, quantum computers could help AI models make fast, accurate predictions across a range of industries, which would take regular computers weeks to figure out.

“The paper demonstrates that for these kinds of studies, even today’s relatively small and unreliable quantum devices can enhance the predictions of conventional AI models,” Peter Coveney, UCL professor and the study’s coauthor, told CNET. 

Quantum computers differ from regular computers in several ways, including
