MACHINE LEARNING COULD BE CANADA’S EDGE IN THE GLOBAL QUANTUM COMPUTING ARMS RACE
HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARDDespite the global race in quantum computing and machine learning, the reality is that there hasn’t yet been a practical situation where quantum computing can perform better than a classical computer.
Like the first Canadian quantum investments 20 years ago, researchers and companies are betting on the fact that quantum computing will change the world, experimenting with approaches that can play a role in the design of a computer.
SFU’s Surrey campus received $17 million from the provincial government last October for an Institute of Quantum Algorithms.
And there are areas where quantum computing can have an influence on machine learning without having to use quantum computers; quantum-inspired algorithms is a field that takes the concepts of quantum computing and applies it to classical algorithms.
Canadian leaders don’t really know if their bet on quantum computing and machine learning is worth it, but they have a strong hunch — and luckily, they’ve been in this place before. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583849010.1610494/MACHINE-LEARNING-COULD-BE-CANADA’S-EDGE-IN-THE-GLOBAL-QUANTUM-COMPUTING-ARMS-RACE?ref=audio_experience
