Researchers Use Quantum Computer to Improve AI Predictions

UCL researchers tested an AI system linked to a quantum computer and found it could improve predictions for complex physical systems.

The quantum device at Germany’s Leibniz Supercomputing Centre handled one hard calculation step, while the supercomputer-based AI did the rest.

The study suggests even small, noisy quantum hardware can help AI make better predictions on difficult modeling tasks.

If it scales, the approach could speed up and improve work in climate science, medicine, engineering, and drug discovery.
