Quantum computing looms large on the horizon
Analysts at Morgan Stanley predict that the market for high-end quantum computers will reach 10 billion dollars by 2025, double what it is now. Alongside IBM and Google, there is also Microsoft, the Chinese Internet giant Alibaba and startups such as Novarion, Rigetti and D-Wave. Yet the various manufacturers rely on different physical principles for the realization of the quantum hardware. Scientists distinguish between universal quantum computers, which can perform arbitrary quantum algorithms, and quantum annealers, which are less complex, but limited to very specific tasks. Researchers at VW have been using a D-Wave quantum annealer since 2017 to better simulate traffic flows. And BMW is investigating whether quantum annealers can help optimize its production robots’ performance. Universal quantum computers are technically very challenging to build and operate. What sets these computers apart is that their performance doubles in power with each added qubit, thereby increasing in exponential rather than in linear fashion. In other words, two qubits yields four possible combinations, three qubits eight, and so on. The quantity of qubits matters, but evenly important is the quality of qubit entanglement and its coherence time. The latter determines how long the quantum system remains stable enough to compute before noise masks the information. Most universal quantum computers, such as Google’s 72-qubit Bristlecone, only work under special laboratory conditions. In January 2019, IBM unveiled the IBM Q System One, the world’s first commercially viable quantum computer – meaning that it works outside a lab. A consortium of seven Fraunhofer Institutes in Germany has been tasked to look into real-world applications for quantum computing as of 2021 in a bid to drive the advance of applied quantum science in the EU. “We want to find out just what kind of applications there are for quantum computing in industry and how to write the necessary algorithms and translate them for specific applications,” explains Hauswirth. The initiative also aims to keep entry barriers low by sharing insights with companies to fast-track the industry’s efforts to build a knowledge base in quantum computing. There are still high hurdles to clear on the path to upscale the performance of available quantum computers. The priority now is to find ways of shielding the fragile quanta from ambient influences that interfere with the computing process. For example, qubits have to be cooled to a temperature approaching absolute zero – around minus 273 degrees Celsius, which is colder than outer space. They also require a vacuum and have to be shielded against electromagnetic radiation. Vibrations and parasitic effects of electromagnetic waves used to manipulate the qubits and read out the information they carry can also cause problems. Solving complex problemsWhat kind of real problems can quantum computers solve? “In a few years from now, quantum computers will provide highly efficient means for prime factorization. That will leave current cryptographic systems vulnerable, which is why major research into post-quantum cryptography is underway,” says Hauswirth. Quantum computers will be able to tackle even more complex problems a few years down the road: “Today’s fintech, for example, has trouble managing billions of cash flows in parallel and in real time within the confines of a very tight regulatory girdle. Sequential processing is still prone to errors, but quantum computers would help get around this.” Prof. Anita Schöbel is director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern. She and Hauswirth are mainly responsible for quantum computing at Fraunhofer. Pointing to an application in the works at her institute, she says, “We’re working on projects that use stochastic partial differential equations such as the Fokker-Planck equations. These serve to develop lithium ion batteries and wind turbines, calculate granular flows and determine prices in quantitative finance. These equations can be converted into quantum mechanics equations for quantum computers to crunch the numbers, probably much faster.” Applied quantum computing is clearly taking shape in the real world. Will we all have a quantum home computer or a quantum processor in our smartphones in a few years? “Quantum computers will only ever be able to solve very specific problems, so they won’t replace conventional computers. It’s likely that cloud-based models will prevail – that is, quantum computing as a service (QCaaS). We’ll probably also see hybrids of quantum computing and conventional high-performance computing,” says Hauswirth.When will the quantum computer arrive?
Three questions for Prof. Manfred Hauswirth, Fraunhofer FOKUS, on the quantum computer initiative with IBM What is this project all about?In partnership with IBM, we are going to install Europe’s first commercial quantum computer at a location in Germany. The aim is to develop applied quantum computing solutions for a range of fields and assess their viability. We would like to see companies of all sizes involved in this project. Why does this matter?It is early days yet for applied research in quantum computing. We need to define quantum algorithms and then convert them for easy use in applications programming. That requires expertise on the part of industry, so we want to fast-track efforts to build a knowledge base here in Germany. This initiative will also enable us to pursue quantum computing under full data sovereignty according to European law, without being dependent on large Internet corporations from overseas. When do you expect to see the first results?A quantum computer is to be installed in Germany in 2021. But even optimistic forecasts suggest it’s going to take another 10 to 20 years before businesses can use quantum computers.From supercomputer to superinternet
Research teams around the world are working on the most efficient way to couple together multiple supercomputers using quantum information to create a quantum internet. At QuTech in Delft, a number of partners, among them the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, are currently working on a highly ambitious project. By 2022, they hope to have built the world’s first quantum internet demonstrator in the Netherlands with the aim of achieving lasting entanglement of qubits over long distances. Nodes at four locations will be connected together via fibre-optic cable. This will enable greater computing capacity, as well as completely new applications, such as blind quantum computing, where computations are performed securely, privately and anonymously on quantum computers in the cloud. According to Florian Elsen, coordinator for quantum technology at Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen, the big challenge lies in “transmitting single, fragile qubits through a fibre-optic cable as losslessly as possible. To achieve this, we carry out frequency conversion, meaning that we modify the wavelength of single photons without changing other significant properties.” Once you have a quantum internet, it is not much of a leap to quantum communication.How does a quantum computer work?
A conventional computer works with bits; a quantum computer with qubits. Like bits, qubits can have a value of 0 or 1. Unlike bits, they occupy a superposition of overlapping quantum states, so they can also have any combination of the two. A qubit does not take on a definite value until it is measured. Adding one qubit doubles the system’s performance so that 50 qubits, for example, would yield 2 to the power of 50 (250) possible combinations. This way, big problems and complex tasks are computed in parallel rather than in linear fashion. David Di Vincenzo’s* five criteria for a quantum computer1.

Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QuAI) – Part I
Reproduced by https://research.aimultiple.com/quantum-ai/ Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are both transformational technologies and artificial intelligence is likely to require quantum computing to achieve significant progress. Although artificial intelligence produces functional applications with classical computers, it is limited by the computational capabilities of classical computers. Quantum computing can provide a computation boost to artificial intelligence, enabling it to tackle more complex problems and AGI.- What is quantum AI?

What is quantum AI?
Quantum AI is the use of quantum computing for computation of machine learning algorithms. Thanks to computational advantages of quantum computing, quantum AI can help achieve results that are not possible to achieve with classical computers.What is quantum computing?
Quantum mechanics is a universal model based on different principles than those observed in daily life. A quantum model of data is needed to process data with quantum computing. Hybrid quantum-classical models are also necessary in quantum computing for error correction and correct functioning of the quantum computer.- Quantum data: Quantum data can be considered as data packets contained in qubits for computerization. However, observing and storing quantum data is challenging because of the features that make it valuable which are superposition and entanglement. In addition, quantum data is noisy, it is necessary to apply a machine learning in the stage of analyzing and interpreting these data correctly.
- Hybrid quantum-classical models: It is highly possible to obtain meaningless data only when using quantum processors to generate quantum data. For this reason, a hybrid model emerges when it is powered by fast data processing mechanisms such as CPU and GPU, which are frequently used in the classical computer.
- Quantum algorithms: An algorithm is a sequence of steps that leads to the solution of a problem. In order to execute these steps on a device, one must use specific instruction sets that the device is designed to do so. Quantum computing introduces different instruction sets that are based on a completely different idea of execution when compared with classical computing. The aim of quantum algorithms is to use quantum effects like superposition and entanglement to get the solution faster.
Why is it important?
Although AI has made rapid progress over the past decade, it has not yet overcome technological limitations. With the unique features of quantum computing, obstacles to achieve AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) can be eliminated. Quantum computing can be used for the rapid training of machine learning models and to create optimized algorithms. An optimized and stable AI provided by quantum computing can complete years of analysis in a short time and lead to advances in technology. Neuromorphic cognitive models, adaptive machine learning, or reasoning under uncertainty are some fundamental challenges of today’s AI. Quantum AI is one of the most likely solutions for next-generation AI.How does quantum AI work?
Recently, Google announced TensorFlow Quantum(TFQ): an open-source library for quantum machine learning, in collaboration with the University of Waterloo, X, and Volkswagen. The aim of TFQ is to provide the necessary tools to control and model natural or artificial quantum systems. TFQ is an example of a suite of tools that combines quantum modeling and machine learning techniques. SOURCE: GOOGLE- Convert quantum data to the quantum dataset: Quantum data can be represented as a multi-dimensional array of numbers which is called as quantum tensors. TensorFlow processes these tensors in order to represent create a dataset for further use.
- Choose quantum neural network models: Based on the knowledge of the quantum data structure, quantum neural network models are selected. The aim is to perform quantum processing in order to extract information hidden in an entangled state.
- Sample or Average: Measurement of quantum states extracts classical information in the form of samples from the classical distribution. The values are obtained from the quantum state itself. TFQ provides methods for averaging over several runs involving steps (1) and (2).
- Evaluate a classical neural networks model – Since quantum data is now converted into classical data, deep learning techniques are used to learn the correlation between data.
What are the possibilities of applying quantum computing in AI?
Researchers’ near term realistic aim for quantum AI is to create quantum algorithms that perform better than classical algorithms and put them into practice.- Quantum algorithms for learning: Development of quantum algorithms for quantum generalizations of classical learning models. It can provide possible speed-ups or other improvements in the deep learning training process. The contribution of quantum computing to classical machine learning can be achieved by quickly presenting the optimal solution set of the weights of artificial neural networks.
- Quantum algorithms for decision problems: Classical decision problems are formulated in terms of decision trees. A method to reach the set of solutions is by creating branches from certain points. However, when each problem is too complex to be solved by constantly dividing it into two, the efficiency of this method decreases. Quantum algorithms based on Hamiltonian time evolution can solve problems represented by a number of decision trees faster than random walks.
- Quantum search: Most search algorithms are designed for classical computing. Classical computing outperforms humans in search problems. On the other hand, Lov Grover provided his Grover algorithm and stated that quantum computers can solve this problem even faster than classical computers. AI-powered by quantum computing can be promising for near term applications such as encryption.
- Quantum game theory: Classical game theory is a process of modeling that is widely used in AI applications. The extension of this theory to the quantum field is the quantum game theory. It can be a promising tool for overcoming critical problems in quantum communication and the implementation of quantum artificial intelligence.
What are the critical milestones for quantum AI?
Although quantum AI is an immature technology, there are improvements in quantum computing which increase the potential of quantum AI. However, the quantum AI industry needs critical milestones in order to become a more mature technology. These milestones can be summarized as:- Less error-prone and more powerful quantum computing systems
- Widely adopted open-source modeling and training frameworks
- Substantial and skilled developer ecosystem
- Compelling AI applications for which quantum computing that outperforms classical computing

Reproduced by https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/dash/groups/quail/NASA Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL)
QuAIL is the space agency’s hub for assessing the potential of quantum computers to impact computational challenges faced by the agency in the decades to come. NASA’s QuAIL team aims to demonstrate that quantum computing and quantum algorithms may someday dramatically improve the agency’s ability to address difficult optimization and machine learning problems arising in NASA’s aeronautics, Earth and space sciences, and space exploration missions. NASA’s QuAIL team has extensive and experience utilizing near-term quantum computing hardware to evaluate the potential impact of quantum computing. The team has international recognized approaches to the programming and compilation of optimization problems to near-term quantum processors, both gate-model quantum processors and quantum annealers, enabling efficient utilization of the prototype quantum hardware available for experimenting with quantum and quantum-classical hybrid approaches for exact and approximate optimization and sampling.The has ongoing research developing quantum computational approaches to challenging combinatorial optimization and sampling problems with relevance to areas such as planning and scheduling, fault diagnosis, and machine learning. A key component of this work is close collaboration with quantum hardware groups. The team’s initial focus was on quantum annealing, since D-Wave quantum annealers were the first quantum computational devices available. As gate-model processors have matured, with gate-model processors with 10s of qubits now available, the group has extended its research to include substantial gate-model efforts in addition to deepening our quantum annealing research. For more information on our research, please see our Research Overview and Publication pages. The NASA QuAIL team leads the T&E team for the IARPA QEO (quantum enhanced optimization) program, has formal collaborative agreements with quantum hardware groups at Google and Rigetti, and research collaborations with many other entities at the forefront of quantum computing, as well as a three-way agreement between Google-NASA-USRA related to the D-Wave machine hosted at NASA Ames. The QuAIL group’s expertise spans physics, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering.What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is based on quantum bits or qubits. Unlike traditional computers, in which bits must have a value of either zero or one, a qubit can represent a zero, a one, or both values simultaneously. Representing information in qubits allows the information to be processed in ways that have no equivalent in classical computing, taking advantage of phenomena such as quantum tunneling and quantum entanglement. As such, quantum computers may theoretically be able to solve certain problems in a few days that would take millions of years on a classical computer.News and Events

NASA Ames and Quantum SupremacyOctober 24, 2019 In partnership with Google and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, our researchers in the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL) group worked to demonstrate the ability to compute in seconds what would take even the largest and most advanced supercomputers thousands of years to achieve, a milestone known as quantum supremacy. This remarkable achievement is featured on the cover of the Oct. 24, 2019 issue of the science journal Nature. Using our supercomputing facilities, researchers here at Ames advanced techniques for simulating quantum computations – work that helped set the bar for Google’s quantum computer to beat. The achievement of quantum supremacy means that the processing power and control mechanisms now exist for scientists to run their code with confidence and see what happens beyond the limits of what can be done on supercomputers. Experimentation with quantum computing is now possible in a way it never has been before. This is another example of the great and important work we do here at Ames. The high goals we set, the milestones we achieve, the hard work and dedication we contribute as a community is what continues to allow us to push the boundaries of exploration to new heights.

PennyLane is a cross-platform Python library for differentiable programming of quantum computers. Train a quantum computer the same way as a neural network. https://github.com/PennyLaneAI?language=python6. Quantum Machine Learning (QuML) – Part I
Reproduced by https://pennylane.ai/qml/whatisqml.htmlWhat is Quantum Machine Learning?
Quantum machine learning is a research area that explores the interplay of ideas from quantum computing and machine learning. For example, we might want to find out whether quantum computers can speed up the time it takes to train or evaluate a machine learning model. On the other hand, we can leverage techniques from machine learning to help us uncover quantum error-correcting codes, estimate the properties of quantum systems, or develop new quantum algorithms.Quantum computers as AI accelerators
The limits of what machines can learn have always been defined by the computer hardware we run our algorithms on—for example, the success of modern-day deep learning with neural networks is enabled by parallel GPU clusters. Quantum machine learning extends the pool of hardware for machine learning by an entirely new type of computing device—the quantum computer. Information processing with quantum computers relies on substantially different laws of physics known as quantum theory.Machine learning on near-term quantum devices
Some research focuses on ideal, universal quantum computers (“fault-tolerant QPUs”) which are still years away. But there is rapidly-growing interest in quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices. We can understand these devices as special-purpose hardware like Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), which are more limited in their functionality.Using quantum computers like neural networks
In the modern viewpoint, quantum computers can be used and trained like neural networks. We can systematically adapt the physical control parameters, such as an electromagnetic field strength or a laser pulse frequency, to solve a problem. For example, a trained circuit can be used to classify the content of images, by encoding the image into the physical state of the device and taking measurements.The bigger picture: differentiable programming
But the story is bigger than just using quantum computers to tackle machine learning problems. Quantum circuits are differentiable, and a quantum computer itself can compute the change in control parameters needed to become better at a given task. Differentiable programming is the very basis of deep learning, implemented in software libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Differentiable programming is more than deep learning: it is a programming paradigm where the algorithms are not hand-coded, but learned. Similarly, the idea of training quantum computers is larger than quantum machine learning. Trainable quantum circuits can be leveraged in other fields like quantum chemistry or quantum optimization. It can help in a variety of applications such as the design of quantum algorithms, the discovery of quantum error correction schemes, and the understanding of physical systems.PennyLane for quantum differentiable programming
PennyLane is an open-source software framework built around the concept of quantum differentiable programming. It seamlessly integrates classical machine learning libraries with quantum simulators and hardware, giving users the power to train quantum circuits. To find out more, visit the PennyLane Documentation, or check out the gallery of hands-on quantum machine learning demonstrations.7. Quantum Machine Learning (QuML) – Part II
Reproduced by https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/the-ultimate-guide-to-quantum-machine-learning-the-next-big-thing/ The Ultimate Guide to Quantum Machine Learning – The next Big thingInnovation in machine learning is far from complete. In fact, things are just about to take a ‘quantum leap’ for the good, when the world of quantum physics and machine learning come together to solve even more advanced problems through intelligent computing. That’s right, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and the famous Schrödinger’s Cat could help develop advanced quantum machine learning systems that are capable of accelerating the current machine learning models so that they work even faster, as well as help develop entirely new machine learning models that could do unprecedented things. Although it will be a while before quantum machine learning goes mainstream, but as of now, almost all the tech giants like IBM, Microsoft and NASA are already getting on board with this fascinating new tech. Quantum Concepts That Influence Machine Learning –Quantum machine learning is an interdisciplinary approach that combines machine learning and the principles of quantum Physics. To understand this, let’s take a look at some of the basic concepts in quantum physics that are at play here – Quantum: Physicist Max Planck in 1900 proposed that at the subatomic level, energy is contained in tiny discrete packets called quanta, which behave as both waves and particles, depending on their environment at the time. The basis of quantum theory relies on the observation that at any point in time, these particles could be in any state and may change their state. Qubits: The classical computing methods we use today work on chips that process all data using 2 bits – 0 and 1. Even the most complex data or algorithm you input gets broken down into these two bits. Quantum machine learning on the other hand uses the unit ‘qubits’, short for quantum bits. In quantum physics, these qubits could be electrons or protons orbiting a nucleus in an atom. Superposition: These quantum particles or Qubits may exist as both 0 and 1 at the same time. This is a phenomenon known as Superposition. Essentially, this means that a particle can exist in multiple quantum states and when placed under supervision, i.e. when we try to measure its position, it undergoes change and its superposition is lost. Entanglement: Different qubits interact with each other on an atom in a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the other particles. So even when the particles are separated by a large distance, they communicate with each other in a correlated manner. So How Does All This Figure in Machine Learning?Understanding the quantum physics of matter can help develop new special purpose hardware or quantum computers that are superior to the ones we have right now in terms of how much data they can process per second and the kind of computing they can accomplish. Quantum computers offer the immense computational advantage of being able to classify objects in their nth dimension, a feat impossible to achieve on normal classical computers. Using the above described principles of superposition and entanglement, these devices pack in an incredible amount of computational power. If you are already in awe of hardware such as ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) and FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) to facilitate machine learning, prepare to experience a performance of a much higher order with quantum machine learning. Quantum chips can be used to map out phenomenal computer algorithms to solve complex problems. While quantum computing proponents make promising advances into arenas of creating new chemicals and drugs with this technology, machine learning aficionados are looking into a future where complex algorithms can map out the brain circuitry, decode the genetic makeup, build a specialized infrastructure that combines biometrics and IOT devices to enable high level security devices and even unlock some phenomenal new discoveries about the vast mysterious universe. Yes, quantum machine learning could facilitate mapping out trillions of neurons firing in our brain at the same time. Some of the current machine learning processes that can be accelerated by quantum machine learning are – Linear Algebra: When it comes to executing linear algebra computations, quantum computers can exponentially speed up the prospects. A quantum gate can execute an exponentially large matrix with an equally large vector at advanced speed in a single operation, helping build machine learning models out of quantum algorithms. This significantly brings down the costs as well as times associated with linear algebra computations. Optimization: Be it physicists, chemists or data scientists, everyone is trying to find a way to the point of lowest energy in a high-dimensional energy landscape. In the world of adiabatic quantum computing and quantum annealing, optimization is everyone’s priority. Quantum machine learning can have a strong footprint in optimization, which also happens to be one of the first tasks physicists attempted in the context of quantum machine learning. Kernel Evaluation: Quantum machine learning can be used to perform kernel evaluation by feeding estimates from a quantum computer can be fed into the standard kernel method. While the training and inferencing of the model will have to be done in the standard support vector machine, using special-purpose quantum support vector machines could help accelerate the process. As the feature space expands, kernel functions in classical computing become computationally expensive to estimate. This is where quantum algorithms step in. quantum properties like entanglement and interference help create a massive quantum state space that can hugely improve kernel evaluation. Deep Learning: Deep learning is one of the most impactful applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the recent times. Quantum computers could make deep learning a whole lot more profound by solving complex problems that are intractable on classical computers. In an experiment to train a deep Boltzmann machine, researchers from Microsoft used quantum models and found that they could not only train the Boltzmann machine faster but also achieve a much more comprehensive deep learning framework than a classical computer could ever yield. Conclusion – The true potential of quantum machine learning will begin to see fruition in a few years from now, but already, significant progress is being made in the direction. High-quality quantum machine learning algorithms will enable scientists to develop whole new methods to improve lives and facilitate solutions that are so far only imagined.8.

INTRODUCTION
Why Quantum Machine Learning? Machine Learning(ML) is just a term in recent days but the work effort start from 18th century. What is Machine Learning ? , In Simple word the answer is making the computer or application to learn themselves . So its totally related with computing fields like computer science and IT ? ,The answer is not true . ML is a common platform which is mingled in all the aspects of the life from agriculture to mechanics . Computing is a key component to use ML easily and effectively . To be more clear ,Who is the mother of ML ?, As no option Mathematics is the mother of ML . The world tremendous invention complex numbers given birth to this field . Applying mathematics to the real life problem always gives a solution . From Neural Network to the complex DNA is running under some specific mathematical formulas and theorems. As computing technology growing faster and faster mathematics entered into this field and makes the solution via computing to the real world . In the computing technology timeline once a certain achievements reached peoples interested to use advanced mathematical ideas such as complex numbers ,eigen etc and its the kick start for the ML field such as Artificial Neural Network ,DNA Computing etc. Now the main question, why this field is getting boomed now a days ? , From the business perspective , 8-10 Years before during the kick start time for ML ,the big barrier is to merge mathematics into computing field . people knows well in computing has no idea on mathematics and research mathematician has no idea on what is computing . The education as well as the Job Opportunities is like that in that time . Even if a person tried to study both then the business value for making a product be not good. Then the top product companies like Google ,IBM ,Microsoft decided to form a team with mathematician ,a physician and a computer science person to come up with various ideas in this field . Success of this team made some wonderful products and they started by providing cloud services using this product . Now we are in this stage. So what’s next ? , As mathematics reached the level of time travel concepts but the computing is still running under classical mechanics . the companies understood, the computing field must have a change from classical to quantum, and they started working on the big Quantum computing field, and the market named this field as Quantum Information Science .The kick start is from Google and IBM with the Quantum Computing processor (D-Wave) for making Quantum Neural Network .The field of Quantum Computer Science and Quantum Information Science will do a big change in AI in the next 10 years. Waiting to see that……….. .(google, ibm). References- D-Wave – Owner of a quantum processor

QUANTUM HOT TOPICS
Deep Quantum Learning why and what is deep learning? In one line , If you know deep learning you can get a good job 🙂 ,Even a different platform undergraduated and graduated person done a master specialization in deep learning can work in this big sector :), Practically speaking machine learning (vector mathematics) , deep learning (vector space(Graphics) mathematics) and big data are the terms created by big companies to make a trend in the market ,but in science and research there is no word such that , Now a days if you ask a junior person working in this big companies ,what is deep learning ,you will get some reply as “doing linear regression with stochastic gradient for a unsupervised data using Convolutional Neural Network :)” ,They knows the words clearly and knows how to do programming using that on a bunch of “relative data” , If you ask them about the FCM , SVM and HMM etc algorithms ,they will simply say these are olden days algorithms , deep learning replaced all :), But actually they dont know from the birth to the till level and the effectiveness of algorithms and mathematics ,How many mathematical theorems in vector, spaces , tensors etc solved to find this “hiding the complexity technology”, They did not played with real non relative data like medical images, astro images , geology images etc , finding a relation and features is really complex and looping over n number of images to do pattern matching is a giant work , Now a days the items mentioned as deep learning (= multiple hidden artifical neural network) is not suitable for that why quantum deep learning or deep quantum learning? In the mid of Artificial Neural Network Research people realised at the maximum extreme only certain mathematical operations possible to do with ANN and the aim of this ANN is to achieve parallel execution of many mathematical operations , In artificial Intelligence ,the world intelligence stands for mathematics ,how effective if a probem can be solvable is based on the mathematics logic applying on the problem , more the logic will give more performance(more intelligent), This goal open the gate for quantum artificial neural network, On applying the ideas behind the deep learning to quantum mechanics environment, its possible to apply complex mathematical equations to n number of non relational data to find more features and can improve the performanceQuantum Machine Learning vs Deep Learning
Its fun to discuss about this , In recent days most of the employees from Product Based Companies Like google,microsoft etc using the word deep learning ,What actually Deep Learning ? and is it a new inventions ? how to learn this ? Is it replacing machine learning ? these question come to the mind of junior research scholars and mid level employees The one answer to all questions is deep learning = parallel “for” loops ,No more than that ,Its an effective way of executing multiple tasks repeatly and to reduce the computation cost, But it introduce a big cap between mathematics and computerscience , How ? All classical algorithms based on serial processing ,Its depends on the feedback of the first loop ,On applying a serial classical algorithm in multiple clusters wont give a good result ,but some light weight parallel classical algorithms(Deep learning) doing the job in multiple clusters and its not suitable for complex problems, What is the solution for then? As in the title Quantum Machine Learning ,The advantage behind is deep learning is doing the batch processing simply on the data ,but quantum machine learning designed to do batch processing as per the algorithm The product companies realised this one and they started migrating to quantum machine learning and executing the classical algorithms on quantum concept gives better result than deep learning algorithms on classical computer and the target to merge both to give very wonderful result References- Quora – Good Discussion

10. Quantum Machine Learning (QuML) – Part V
Reproduced by https://github.com/tensorflow/quantum TensorFlow Quantum (TFQ) is a Python framework TensorFlow Quantum (TFQ) is a Python framework for hybrid quantum-classical machine learning that is primarily focused on modeling quantum data. TFQ is an application framework developed to allow quantum algorithms researchers and machine learning applications researchers to explore computing workflows that leverage Google’s quantum computing offerings, all from within TensorFlow.Motivation
Quantum computing at Google has hit an exciting milestone with the achievement of Quantum Supremacy. In the wake of this demonstration, Google is now turning its attention to developing and implementing new algorithms to run on its Quantum Computer that have real world applications. To provide users with the tools they need to program and simulate a quantum computer, Google is working on Cirq. Cirq is designed for quantum computing researchers who are interested in running and designing algorithms that leverage existing (imperfect) quantum computers. TensorFlow Quantum provides users with the tools they need to interleave quantum algorithms and logic designed in Cirq with the powerful and performant ML tools from TensorFlow. With this connection we hope to unlock new and exciting paths for Quantum Computing research that would not have otherwise been possible.Installation
