【Japan takes step toward light-based technology】
A Japanese team
announced a key step
in the development of
a quantum computer using photons,
or particles of light,
that eliminates the need
for an ultracold environment
used to cool existing machines.

【Quantum Kernel Machine Learning】
The general task
of machine learning
is to find
and study patterns
in data.
For many datasets,
the datapoints
are better understood
in a higher dimensional feature space,
through the use
of a kernel function
【Quantum Computing by Cirq】
An open source framework
for programming quantum computers
from Google
Cirq is a Python software library
for writing, manipulating
and optimizing quantum circuits
and then running them
on quantum computers
and quantum simulators

【MNIST dataset】
The MNIST dataset is
an acronym
that stands
for the Modified National Institute
of Standards
and Technology dataset.
It is a dataset
of 60,000 small square
28×28 pixel grayscale images
of handwritten single digits
between 0 and 9.
#QuantumComputing
【Quantum Neural Networks (QNN)】
It is a machine learning model
or algorithm
that combines concepts
from quantum computing
and artifical neural networks.
Over the past decades,
the term has been used
to describe a variety of ideas
#QuantumComputing
【Quantum Computing Cloud】
It is a quantum computer
that can be accessed
in a cloud environment
through a network.
There are numbers
of cloud quantum computing services
that can be accessed by users.
They are used
to solve complex problems
that require powerful computing.
【Quantum Computers on Site】
On-site,
it is mostly done
by quantum-classical hybrid computation,
forcing the use
of unfinished quantum computers.
Long calculations produce errors,
so many short calculations
are performed and then tabulated.
【Comparison to simulated annealing】
Quantum annealing
can be compared
to simulated annealing.
In simulated annealing,
the temperature determines
the probability
of moving
to a state of higher "energy"
from a single current state.
【One Qubit】
One qubit
is represented
by a vector
on a two-dimensional
complex vector space
So there is a basis vector corresponding to ket0 and ket1,
the standard basis
One qubit takes
the state a × ket0 + b × ket1
【Realization of a general-purpose quantum computer】
Quantum computers include
General-purpose quantum algorithms
and Quantum-classical hybrid algorithm
There are two types.
The former will be used
in the future,
The trend is growing
