One of the current hot research topics is the combination of two of the most recent technological breakthroughs: machine learning and quantum computing.
An experimental study shows that already small-scale quantum computers can boost the performance of machine learning algorithms.
This was demonstrated on a photonic quantum processor by an international team of researchers at the University of Vienna. The work, published in Nature Photonics, shows promising new applications for optical quantum computers.
