‘Quantum Computing Machine Learning’ Patent Trains AI to Switch Between Computing Methods

Quantum computing machine learning could help orgs understand where quantum computing can benefit vs. where classical computing may still be best.

Accenture, a global professional services company, has been granted a US patent for a “quantum computing machine learning module” that trains artificial intelligence (AI) to determine when and how computational tasks would be best handled by quantum computing versus classical computing methods, and route them to the appropriate option.

This could help organizations understand where quantum computing can have the most impact within their businesses and when classical computing may still be the best option for a given task, the company says.

How it works

By determining when and how to utilize the power of quantum computing, a system can help perform computational tasks in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

Additionally, the module described has the ability to learn to prioritize certain tasks. As more advanced and efficient quantum and classical systems are introduced over time, the quantum computing machine learning module can adapt accordingly.

“Quantum computing has enormous potential, offering truly groundbreaking capabilities to rapidly solve businesses’ most difficult computational challenges. And determining when to employ quantum — as opposed to, or in tandem with classical computing — is critical to realizing this potential,” said Marc Carrel-Billiard, senior managing director, Accenture Labs.

“Our latest patent in this area reflects our ongoing commitment to explore ways to apply the best technologies at the right times for our clients to achieve better business outcomes.”

“Clients look to Accenture to help drive innovation in their organizations, and we are committed to embracing this opportunity at every turn,” said Athina Kanioura, Accenture’s chief analytics officer and global head of Applied Intelligence.

“Working to advance applications for AI has been a huge focus for our team, and quantum computing presents yet another avenue for how we can use AI to maximize value.”
