CAMBRIDGE, England,
April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Cambridge Quantum Computing ("CQC") announces that they
have used the "natively quantum" structure of natural language to
open up an entirely new realm of possible applications by
translating grammatical sentences into quantum circuits, and then
implementing the resulting programs on a quantum computer and
actually performing question-answering. This is the first time that
natural language processing has been executed on a quantum
computer. Furthermore, by achieving the results without relying on
quantum RAM, CQC scientists have created a path to truly applicable
quantum advantage within the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum
("NISQ") era.
By using CQC's class-leading and platform-agnostic retargetable
compiler t|ket⟩™, these programs were successfully executed on
an IBM quantum computer, thus taking a notable step towards
achieving "meaning-aware" and
"grammatically informed" natural language processing - a
dream of computer scientists since the earliest days of the
computer age. CQC looks forward to providing further details
in the near future including ways to scale the programs so that
meaningfully large numbers of sentences can be used on
NISQ machines as they themselves scale in quantum volume and
using other types of quantum computers.
