Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing represent a new frontier in computing, offering the promise of solving problems previously considered unsolvable. This article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of research at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. We will explore the basic concepts, major applications, and challenges of quantum machine learning (QML). We will start by offering a definition of the motivation for the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. We will then proceed to offer a description of the basic algorithmic frameworks for quantum machine learning, such as quantum differential algorithms (VQA) for near-term quantum (NISQ) devices and the prospects for error-tolerant quantum algorithms such as the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd algorithm. We will then proceed to offer a methodical analysis of the current applications of quantum machine learning in finance, cybersecurity, materials science, among other fields. We will then proceed to discuss the basic challenges facing the implementation of quantum machine learning, while offering a glimpse of the future of quantum-enhanced artificial intelligence.

Abstract The technological advancements made in recent times, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, have brought about significant changes in technology. These advancements have profoundly impacted quantum cryptography, a field where AI methodologies hold tremendous potential to enhance the efficiency and robustness of cryptographic systems. However, the emergence of quantum computers has created a new challenge for existing security algorithms, commonly called the ‘quantum threat’. Despite these challenges, there are promising avenues for integrating neural network-based AI in cryptography, which has significant implications for future digital security paradigms. This summary highlights the key themes in the intersection of AI and quantum cryptography, including the potential benefits of AI-driven cryptography, the challenges that need to be addressed, and the prospects of this interdisciplinary research area.
