Title

Quantum Machine Learning

Abstract

Quantum computation and quantum information have attracted great attention on multiple frontiers of scientific fields ranging from physics to chemistry and engineering, as well as from computer science to mathematics and statistics. As randomness and uncertainty are deeply rooted in quantum computing, statistics can play an important role in quantum computation, which in turn offers great potential to revolutionize computational statistics and data science. This talk will give a brief review on quantum computing and machine learning and then present a statistical learning problem and its quantum solution to illustrate the quantum advantage in statistics.
