Announcing TensorFlow Quantum: An open source library for quantum machine learning
Posted on March 10, 2020, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Machine learning (ML), while it doesn't exactly simulate systems in nature, has the ability to learn a model of a system and predict the system's behavior. Over the past few years, classical ML models have shown promise in tackling challenging scientific issues, leading to advancements in image processing for cancer detection, forecasting earthquake aftershocks, predicting extreme weather patterns, and detecting new exoplanets.
