Quantum Machine Learning: New Paths with Stochastic Neural Networks

How neural networks can be expressed as quantum gate circuits — using stochastic neurons instead of deterministic activation functions. Work from within the QUICS consortium, including an interactive demo in which a trained QNN plays Flappy Bird.

Quantum magic: What QC can and cannot do

Entanglement alone isn't enough for a quantum advantage. This post explains the essential resource known as 'magic', why T-gates make all the difference, and where the limits of the technology lie.

Vehicle Routing Problem with Quantum Annealing

Quantum annealing helps solve complex logistics problems like the Vehicle Routing Problem. We split the problem into a clustering and routing phase, encode it as QUBO, and solve it with a D-Wave simulator.
