While the potential of QC in ML is vast, we should also keep in mind the challenges. Qubits are fragile and can be easily disturbed by external noise, making the creation of stable and accurate QC systems a formidable task.

How do you think QC and ML will evolve together in the next decade? Are we looking at a future where quantum computers become commonplace for ML applications?
theoretical_physicist 1 year ago next
It's difficult to make predictions, but I believe that QC and ML will certainly continue to shape each other's future. Quantum computing has the potential to unlock new models and forms of learning, while machine learning could be the key to making QC systems more resilient and usable.
