Conclusion
The application of quantum machine learning and annealing techniques within smart cities and climate modeling is still at a very early stage. In comparison to financial services and healthcare applications, these applications are still well behind. While smart city applications of emerging technologies can perhaps wait, it is critical that we get a firm understanding of climate change.
The emerging impacts of climate change are perhaps some of the most important phenomena affecting our lives, and the lives of future generations. It is imperative that policy makers leverage technologies such as quantum computers to drive decision-making at the highest levels. A top-down approach to climate change will help us as citizens to combat the long-term effects of human action on our planet.
We have so far covered the applications of quantum computing in the field of healthcare, financial services, and smart cities. In the coming chapters, we will look at its applications...
