Fun little paper to appear tonight on the arXiv.

How to do Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on digital Quantum Computers.

As physics-based probabilistic ML accelerators are on the horizon, important to test how QC's could try to compete.

Best way to predict future is to invent it.πŸ™‚

We explore this in a new paper on quantum-probabilistic generative models πŸŽ²βš›οΈπŸ€–πŸ’­ and information geometry πŸŒπŸ“ from our former QML group @Theteamatx πŸ₯³

Time for an epic thread πŸ‘‡
scirate.com/arxiv/2206.046… ImageImageImageImage For some context: quantum-probabilistic generative models (QPGM) are a class of hybrid ML models which combine classical probabilistic ML models (e.g. EBM's) and quantum neural networks (QNNs). As we show in this new paper, turns out these types of models are optimal in many ways Image

In January, @PetarV_93 & @mmbronstein graciously invited me to share what I found most promising for 2022 progress in QML (below).

This week, a total of 3 (!) papers extending QGNN's into Geometric QDL were posted!

See below for related threads πŸ‘‡

To understand the state of the quantum industry: imagine if there were 200+ companies trying to be @SpaceX the same year Sputnik made it to orbit, before @NASA even landed on the Moon. Meanwhile, fully aware that the tech has to mature so that the market for commercial spaceflight reaches sufficiently substantial numbers to warrant high valuations, startups pitch to commercial freight companies that the future of shipping is rocket-based.
