Shaping future quantum techniques in machine learning at CERN
Problem-solving gets faster if quantum methodologies are used instead of classical computers. Physicists and computer scientists are therefore working closely together to explore this potential. In November, the 7th International Conference on Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning (QTML) was held at CERN, bringing together more than 300 researchers and industry partners in the field. Machine
