Abstract

Quantum computing combines great promise with daunting challenges — the road to devices that solve real-world problems is still long. Now, an implementation of a quantum algorithm maps the problems we want to solve to the devices we already have.

Quantum computing meets cloud AI: A new era of intelligent computing

Dhruvitkumar V. Talati

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Recent technological advancements have led to several challenges in modern computing, where conventional systems struggle to efficiently solve complex problems such as complicated chemical structures, supply chains, financial modeling, and risk evaluation [1]. Quantum computing, with its unique ability to harness the principles of quantum mechanics, offers a promising solution to these challenges. Moreover, the emergence of cloud-based quantum computing services is democratizing this transformative technology, allowing startups and researchers to experiment with quantum algorithms without the need for their own quantum hardware. [2] This research paper explores the convergence of quantum computing and cloud-based artificial intelligence, highlighting the potential for a new era of intelligent computing that can tackle complex problems with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The recent demonstration of quantum supremacy, where a quantum computer outperformed a classical computer in a specific task, has been a significant milestone in the field of quantum computing. However, there is still much progress to be made on the road to solving real-world problems with quantum computers and achieving quantum advantage. While the field of quantum computing is still in its early stages, the anticipated opportunities offered by the unique computational power of quantum computers have attracted investment from research universities, technology giants, startups, and governments around the world. As the field continues to advance, the synergy between quantum computing and cloud-based artificial intelligence is poised to usher in a new era of intelligent computing, where complex problems can be solved with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Quantum Computation: Entangling with the Future

Jiang Zhang

Commercial applications of quantum computation have become viable due to the rapid progress of the field in the recent years. Efficient quantum algorithms are discovered to cope with the most challenging real-world problems that are too hard for classical computers. Manufactured quantum hardware has reached unprecedented precision and controllability, enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here, I give a brief introduction on what principles in quantum mechanics promise its unparalleled computational power. I will discuss several important quantum algorithms that achieve exponential or polynomial speedup over any classical algorithm. Building a quantum computer is a daunting task, and I will talk about the criteria and various implementations of quantum computers. I conclude the talk with near-future commercial applications of a quantum computer.

Randomness

Scott Aaronson

In the last two chapters, we talked about computational complexity up till the early 1970s. Here, we'll add a new ingredient to our already simmering stew – something that was thrown in around the mid-1970s, and that now pervades complexity to such an extent that it's hard to imagine doing anything without it. This new ingredient is randomness . Certainly, if you want to study quantum computing, then you first have to understand randomized computing. I mean, quantum amplitudes only become interesting when they exhibit some behavior that classical probabilities don't : contextuality, interference, entanglement (as opposed to correlation), etc. So we can't even begin to discuss quantum mechanics without first knowing what it is that we're comparing against. Alright, so what is randomness? Well, that’s a profound philosophical question, but I’m a simpleminded person. So, you’ve got some probability p , which is a real number in the unit interval [0, 1]. That’s randomness. But wasn’t it a big achievement when Kolmogorov put probability on an axiomatic basis in the 1930s? Yes, it was! But in this chapter, we’ll only care about probability distributions over finitely many events, so all the subtle questions of integrability, measurability, and so on won’t arise. In my view, probability theory is yet another example where mathematicians immediately go to infinite-dimensional spaces, in order to solve the problem of having a nontrivial problem to solve! And that’s fine – whatever floats your boat. I’m not criticizing that. But in theoretical computer science, we’ve already got our hands full with 2n choices. We need 2ℵ0 choices like we need a hole in the head.
