Linking Machine Learning and Quantum Computing

Experimenting with Quantum computers using Machine Learning

 IBM Releases Qiskit Modules That Use Quantum Computers to Improve ML

VentureBeat, Chris O'Brien, April 9, 2021

IBM has released the Qiskit Machine Learning suite of application modules as part of its effort to encourage developers to experiment with quantum computers. The company’s Qiskit Applications Team said the modules promise to help optimize machine learning (ML) by tapping quantum systems for certain process components. The team said, "Quantum machine learning (QML) proposes new types of models that leverage quantum computers' unique capabilities to, for example, work in exponentially higher-dimensional feature spaces to improve the accuracy of models." IBM expects quantum computers to gain market momentum by performing specific tasks that are offloaded from classic computers to a quantum platform. ... ' 

IonQ now Supports IBM Qiskit Quantum development kit

Providing a seems another and we assume better means of developing quantum applications.     Would be good to compare applications.

IonQ now supports IBM’s Qiskit quantum development kit

Frederic Lardinois@frederick

IonQ, the trapped ion quantum computing company that recently announced that it wants to go public via a SPAC, today announced that it is integrating its quantum computing platform with the open-source Qiskit software development kit. This means Qiskit users can now bring their programs to IonQ’s platform without any major modifications to their code.

At first glance, that seems relatively unremarkable, but it’s worth noting that Qiskit was founded by IBM Research and is IBM’s default tool for working with its quantum computers. There is a healthy bit of competition between IBM and IonQ (and, to be fair, many others in this space), in part because both are betting on very different technologies at the core of their platforms. While IonQ is betting on trapped ions, which allows its machines able to run at room temperature, IBM’s technique requires its machine to be supercooled.   .... '

Quantum Developer Certification

More seriousness in this space.

IBM launches its first quantum developer certification in TechCrunch

While quantum computing may still be in its infancy, most pundits in the industry will tell you that now is the time to learn the basic concepts. Qiskit has already proven quite popular, with more than 600,000 installs, and when IBM Quantum and the Qiskit team hosted a quantum summer school last year, almost 5,000 developers participated.  ...
