A thinking quantum computer
A thinking quantum computer is not a reproduction of brain function, but rather a representation of the mind of a person. Neuromorphic computing is one approach that represents our neurons and how brain uses spiking neurons to think. Quantum computing can provide an exciting way to imitate our mind's capacity with mathematical algorithms that work with qubits, not neurons. We've just begun to explore the potential of these approaches, which in fact will most probably merge into an ensemble of hybrid software and hardware solutions.
The endeavor of the quantum MindX experiment is to build a personal mind named MindX, with memories of past events, conversations, chats, and photographs stored on a classical computer. The program will then transform subsets of the data into quantum circuits to see what happens, how our quantum circuit behaves when left to produce millions of possibilities.
