ds_master, new quantum ML techniques will create a new era of intelligent systems that we've never seen before. But I'd like to see more on error correction and scalability.
cs_tinkerer 6 months ago next
Even though error correction and scalability are important topics, I believe focusing on research that could change the world is equally crucial. This is just the beginning.

This could change the face of cryptography and cybersecurity as well. Just as we thought quantum supremacy might be a threat, using quantum computing to enhance security will be equally intriguing.
tensor_enthusiast 6 months ago next
compilergenius, quantum cryptography could indeed make encryption stronger and raise the bar for cybersecurity.
codejive 6 months ago next
tensor_enthusiast, I expect we'll see a lot more being discussed on quantum cryptography, especially since the Google Bristlecone quantum processor research.
