Study this figure closely …

… you don’t need to fully understand it.



… but its important to glimpse the probabilistic relationship between quantum computing and machine-learning.

RUNNING AI ON QUANTUM DATA

---“Running AI on data after the probability wave has already collapsed is kind of boring. It ain’t nearly as much fun as it will be running it before the probability wave collapses (if it ever collapses---the Copenhagen interpretation).

The real fun will be running machine-learning on the quantum data before the quantum data is realized in our classically observed reality. That’s gonna be fascinating.” - Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

---“Right now the world is focused on running AI on classical data. The real breakthroughs will come when we start running AI on quantum data.”- Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

Both AI and quantum computing are based and rooted in probability (or to borrow from the great Einstein-Bohr discussion on quantum physics, “God playing dice” [Aside: It will not shock me if we eventually learn that God is indeed playing dice … but knows all the outcomes—i.e. Einstein and Bohr were both right!]).

What we do know is that probability is a deeper reality of the underlying mechanisms at work in our classically observed world. We don’t know what’s causing this. We don’t know what it means. God only knows at this point. But we do know this is reality. And we are beginning to harness more of these underlying powers of probability. [BTW … if you don’t believe in quantum physics … you shouldn’t use your cell phone since this forms the basis of the technology (i.e. it would be hypocrisy to operate something you don’t believe in, and difficult explaining to people that it instead of operating on quantum physics your particular phone operates on “magic”—which would really get people looking funny at you)]

What an incredible world we are continuing to discover! What a miracle life is! What an incredible time to be alive!
