How Will Quantum Computing Improve Artificial Intelligence?
Quantum computers are far more powerful than classical computers. Their development will lead to rapid advances in artificial intelligence. Here are some things that quantum computers will improve:
Quantum computers use quarks as bits (qubits). Quarks are the smallest components of matter. This means that a large number of qubits can fit in a very small space.
While ordinary bits can either be in the 1 or 0 position, qubits can be in both positions at the same time. The amount of data that can be stored on a quantum computer doubles whenever another qubit is added. Therefore, you would only need around 500 qubits to store as many bits of code as there are atoms in the entire universe.Artificial intelligence using quantum technology could make it possible for doctors to effectively create computer models of how the functioning of the body is expected to change as a result of disease. These models could detect changes that occur on the molecular level rather than the cellular level. This could allow doctors to come up with far more effective treatments of diseases. Some examples of what quantum computers may allow doctors to do include the creation more effective drugs, more effectively preventing the development of cancer, more effectively detecting hazardous substances in the body, extending the human lifespan by a considerable amount, and even mapping the entire human genome.
