Every week, my team at Invector Labs publishes a newsletter that covers the most recent developments in AI research and technology. You can find this week’s issue below. You can sign up for it below. Please do so, our guys worked really hard on this:

From the Editor: Quantum Supremacy and AI

Quantum computing might be the next big technology revolution in the horizon and one that can challenge some of the foundations of modern computing. This week Google self-proclaimed that it has achieved quantum supremacy with the released of a 54-qubit Sycamore processor was able to perform a calculation in 200 seconds that would have taken the world’s most powerful supercomputer 10,000 years. Shortly after, IBM published a paper challenging Google’s claims but the milestone was incredibly relevant nonetheless.

Among the technologies that can change drastically with the evolution of quantum computing, artificial intelligence(AI) unquestionably ranks first. It is obvious that quantum computing will influence the creation of a new generation of AI models optimized for quantum architectures. However, the relationship between AI and quantum computing is bidirectional. While AI will benefit from the unprecedented computation power of quantum computing, it can also help design better quantum architectures. Google has been doing some active research work in
