KEYNOTE
Quantum Computing and its Synergies with AI
Federico Mattei
IBM Quantum Ambassador
ABSTRACT
Quantum computing is rapidly evolving and we will soon be able to perform previously impossible calculations for the benefit of business and scientific research.
These new computers leverage the laws of quantum mechanics and will soon allow to solve intractable problems for classical computer in the field of simulating nature and optimization. Several artificial intelligence algorithms will also receive an advantage from quantum computers, for example in categorization and anomaly detection. Quantum AI could add value to find new patterns with less data in complex data structure with better trainability.
Artificial Intelligence algorithms are also used to support quantum computing calculation to optimize transpilation of circuits and to help quantum code developers.
Many synergies are emerging between quantum computation and artificial intelligence; two disruptive technologies which combined will completely transform the way we perform calculations in scientific research and business.
