Briefing

  • Quantum Linear System Algorithm – International group of researchers proposed new, faster quantum linear system algorithm, capable of crunching large data sets, that can help artificial intelligence (AI) predict future
  • Faster than Predecessors – Can work without data restrictions, computing faster than classical computers and previous quantum computing algorithms
  • Possible Applications – Can do quantitative analyses on problems such as commodities pricing, social networks, and chemical structures, able to extrapolate into future
  • Study Team – Composed of Zhikuan Zhao from Singapore University of Technology and Design, Anupam Prakash from National University of Singapore, and Leonard Wossnig from ETH Zurich and University of Oxford
  • Next Steps – Work with experimental group on proof-of-principle demonstration of algorithm and analyze implementation requirements, such as overhead costs
