Description
In the last five years, quantum computers migrated from intellectual curiosity to
the realm of technological evolution. The first commercial computer (D-Wave) does
not resemble the ideal quantum computer physicists and mathematicians dreamed
of for decades. The most dramatic difference between a Turing type machine and the new architecture is that it
not based on logical steps. While for the quantum physics and mathematics community
this state is unsatisfactory and they are still pursuing an ideal quantum logic architecture.
In my talk, I argue that the new architecture is here to stay and quantum software
will adapt to the new technologically. Artificial Intelligence applications are one of the best-suited
problems for the new quantum architecture. In the emerging quantum era, we have to
change our concepts on what a computer is.
