Last night, while I was sleeping, the US Department of Energy announced plans to build a Quantum Internet. This has me literally giddy with excitement. Here’s why: It recognises the potential for quantum communications networks to do more than simply distribute cryptographic keys. For quite some time there has been interest in establishing long-range quantum networks in order to allow...
In recent years, machine learning has emerged as an area where there are likely to be huge gains from quantum computing. But as a near term application of quantum computing, machine learning algorithms suffer from a major drawback: I/O. The vast majority of machine learning applications where quantum computing is likely to be required are in situations where there is an absolutely enormous amount...
Some of you may know this already. Late last year I got tenure, and shortly after that I resigned to run a startup.
