Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

Leonardo da Vinci

It’s hard to imagine an area of computer science and data analysis that has gotten more attention and investment in recent years than AI and machine learning. While quantum computers are still not “big data” machines because of their relatively short coherence times and numbers of qubits, it is still reasonable to ask if we can extend or replace existing machine learning algorithms or computational components with quantum versions. This is the field of quantum machine learning, or QML. machine learning machine learning$quantum quantum$machine learning QML

This chapter surveys and summarizes several techniques where quantum computing might improve the performance or accuracy of neural networks and support vector machines for classification. The chapter builds on the discussion in section 1.4. algorithm$support...
