Quantum error correction for AI is at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and Industry 4.0.
Quantum computers are seen as the next big development after classical computers. They could make artificial intelligence (AI) much more powerful because they process huge amounts of data particularly quickly. However, quantum computers are still prone to errors. This is precisely where quantum error correction comes into play: it ensures that such errors are automatically recognised and corrected. This makes the use of quantum computers for AI safer and more reliable.
A simple example: Imagine an AI is supposed to analyse huge production data on a quantum computer in order to predict errors in a factory. Without quantum error correction, small disturbances could produce incorrect results. With quantum error correction, the system recognises such errors and corrects them immediately. This provides the AI with accurate data, makes better predictions and can control production efficiently.
Without quantum error correction, the use of quantum computers for artificial intelligence in safety-critical areas, such as industry or cybersecurity, would currently be almost inconceivable. With it, however, this future becomes tangible.
