Chapter 9 Quantum computing: future of artificial intelligence and its applications

Quantum computing (QC) is the emerging technology for solving complex problems through the laws of quantum mechanism and optimized algorithms. To examine the possibilities of active cooperation across both disciplines of computer science, this article explains the core components of quantum computing and conveys some of the important features linked by quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). To make major progress with artificial intelligence, quantum computing is probably necessary. Quantum computing’s training and processing power can be used to improve AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms at a reduced cost. AI can provide quantum computers with crucial error-correcting algorithms. Several AI algorithms have been successfully applied to quantum computers; they are constrained by the computational power of conventional computers despite developing useful applications. Artificial intelligence may benefit from quantum computing’s computational boost in order to handle more challenging issues. This case study explains the importance of quantum computing, the future of QC in AI, and the different applications of quantum computing, such as AI and ML, cybersecurity and cryptography, and weather forecasting.
