Yes, I agree with you, we need more theory, more mathematical understanding. MNIST grayscale, 7x7 pixels = 49 continuous variables meaning we can do something already with 5 qubits) Yes, hope to see you around !

Oh yes, this is an amazing paper. I actually decided to include single qubit circuits after reading it. Moving to higher dimensions and more complex problems is indeed challenging. I think that one key to the problem is how you design circu

:-) we would love to get a call to solve problems. But quantum computers are still in their infancy, the most powerful ones have ~50 qubits, 50 unstable and noisy qubits. Meaning that we can only perform 10 to 20 operations per qubit before

Yes, actually this is a gradient descent, a modified version of adagrad. We do not know yet if this could perform faster or better than the classical machine learning. There are some fundamental difficulties on comparing two ML approaches,

Yes, quantum supremacy disproves the extended church-turing thesis (Bernstein-Vazirani). This thesis states that any computation that can be computed efficiently can be computed efficiently with a classical computer (ie a Turing machine). E

Why is quantum supremacy important ? Quantum supremacy is reached when a quantum computer does something that no classical computer can do. So before quantum supremacy, quantum computers are useless. Which does no mean that after quantum su
