Quantum ML will be game changing. Running model training on a quantum computer can find GLOBAL minima/maxima in fractions of a second, depending on the number and quality of the qubits of course.


I think this sort of comment needs a lot more care and detail put into it, and preferably some citations for the algorithms you’re thinking of.

There’s more than enough hype around quantum computing with adding to it like this.


This comment makes me feel like people talking like this will make “quantum” into the new crypto and grift a whole new generation of people. The cycle continues.


You're a genius. Quantum Blockchain that lets you bid on an NFT lootbox being in a particular superposition. Based on the probability, the price will be higher or lower. And immutable. Or something.


This is my first time ever coming across the phrase "quantum blockchain", even if it's a joke.

But I'm suddenly terrified it won't be my last...


Terry Pratchett was ahead of the curve on this one:

> 'And then there’s quantum, of course.’ The monk sighed. ‘There’s always bloody quantum.'


My new blockchain is protected by Quantum Artificial Intelligence™. Click here to buy my NFTs.


Don't joke about it. I actually think that I've seen this claim somewhere.


I have heard a lot of people talk about how this is going to solve np hard problems, but when I asked a cs PhD about it they were a lot more pessimistic.


To quote the headline of Scott Aaronson's blog: "quantum computers won't solve hard problems instantly by just trying all solutions in parallel"
