Unsupervised Machine Learning Demonstrated On Quantum Computer

[Lucian Armasu]

Rigetti, a California-based quantum computing startup, announced that it was able to demonstrate unsupervised machine learning on its quantum computer, paving the way for other machine learning applications that take advantage of quantum computing.

Far more insidious would be semi sentient appliances: Think in terms of the mental toaster from Red Dwarf.
Come to think of it Cylons were called Toasters in the Battlestar Galactica reboot...

Will it be able to dream?

If it becomes self aware we'll call it 'Regretti'.

The whole thing sounds like vapor ware.

Once quantum supremacy is reached, it's likely we'll see an explosion of growth in this industry

Perhaps even before then. All that's needed is quantum computers that are more efficient than equivalent classical computers.

You're really blowing this out of proportion. It's just clustering. Still useful, but thousands of times more simplistic than even small applications of deep learning.

IMO, it's just something they did to grab headlines.
