Quantum hardware may be a good match for AI
Briefly

A recent collaboration between the Honda Research Institute and Blue Qubit explored the use of quantum computing in machine learning, specifically focusing on image classification tasks. They applied variational quantum circuits to classify driving scene images, determining if it was snowing. While data is traditionally stored separately from computation, the study demonstrated how quantum systems can integrate classical data with qubits, showing significant potential in machine learning applications by outperforming classical processors.
Quantum systems can outperform classical systems in supervised machine learning, even with data processed on classical hardware.
Variational quantum circuits allow additional classical factors to control qubit operations, resembling communication in neural networks.
Honda Research Institute explored data transfer from classical to quantum systems for classification tasks, particularly image classification.
The research primarily focused on classifying scenes from images based on whether it was snowing.
