Aย new research projectย aims to harness the power of quantum computers to build a new type of neural networkย โ work the researchers say could usher in the next generation of artificial intelligence.
โMy colleagues and I instead hope to build the first dedicated neural network computer, using the latest โquantumโ technology rather than AI software,โ wrote [professor] Michael Hartmann.

A neural network is a type of machine learning algorithm loosely modeled on a biological brain, which learns from examples in order to deal with new inputs. Quantum computers take advantage of subatomic particles that canย exist in more than one state at a timeย to circumvent the limitations of old-fashioned binary computers.
By combining the two, Hartmann believes, his team will be able to jump-start a new era in AI research that could manage extraordinarily complex problems like directing traffic flow for an entire city in real-time.

To date, quantum computers haveย struggled to solve problemsย that are a piece of cake for classical computers.

โ[O]nce we have shown that quantum neural networks can be more powerful than classical AI software in a real world application, it would very quickly become some of the most important technology out there,โ [says Hartmann.]
