Quantum AI: It takes decades and billions of dollars to bring new medicines from discovery to patients. Quantum AI could speed up that process and find cures more quickly.
QAI could accelerate research in areas such as chemistry and materials science, and also help with climate modeling. It could also be useful in finance, for example, by improving predictions and optimizing risk models.

How we do it
At the Quantum AI lab, our goal is to pioneer research into how quantum computing might help with machine learning and other difficult computer science problems. Our work is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, and the Universities Space Research Association.
While QAI remains a nascent technology, its potential for transforming business and society is vast. It can be used to enhance cyber security by creating unbreakable codes and improve data analytics through its ability to quickly process large amounts of information.
It can also be used to model complex chemical reactions and predict the properties of new materials, revolutionizing drug discovery development and climate modelling. And in the financial sector, it can improve algorithms for making predictions and risk management assessments, and even identify fraud and other criminal activity. Despite its many advantages, there are challenges to adopting quantum AI that go beyond technological hurdles. Social, ethical and legal issues are critical to the successful integration of this revolutionary technology into our lives and societies.
Our approach
Unlike conventional computing, quantum computers operate on a different basis by treating multiple physical qubits as one logical qubit. This means it is possible to carry out calculations at exponentially faster rates.
Using this technology, QAI can be used to enhance current AI techniques in a wide range of industries. This includes drug discovery and materials design, where it can be used to simulate chemical reactions and predict properties. It can also improve climate modelling, leading to better predictions about the impacts of global warming and help optimize resource management and fraud detection in financial sector applications.
Another application is the use of QAI for high-speed trading on cryptocurrency markets, with a particular focus on Bitcoin. Often, these platforms are promoted through social media with fake videos featuring celebrity personalities and reputable news outlets to add credibility. The scammers then pressure victims to deposit a significant amount of money and crypto into their account, before draining it through covert charges and excuses.
Our Technology
Quantum AI combines cutting-edge technology fields to reshape industries and solve problems. This symbiotic relationship between quantum computing and artificial intelligence has the potential to change everything.
We’ve already seen that quantum hardware can significantly speed up machine learning algorithms, like generative models and neural networks. By significantly shortening the training time, it allows for more data to be processed, and results in a more accurate model that can learn and identify patterns.
Quantum AI can improve existing algorithms and help create new ones. For example, it can help in materials science and chemistry by more efficiently modelling small molecules. It can also be used in healthcare to process medical data more quickly, enabling earlier disease detection and improved treatment plans. And in the energy sector, it can be used to optimize energy grids and reduce waste.
