Quantum Machine Learning: The Next Frontier? with Iordanis Kerenidis

Today we conclude our 2020 ICML coverage joined by Iordanis Kerenidis, Research Director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Paris, and Head of Quantum Algorithms at QC Ware. Iordanis' research centers around quantum algorithms of machine learning, and was an ICML main conference Keynote speaker on the topic! We focus our conversation on his presentation, exploring the prospects and challenges of quantum machine learning, as well as the field's history, evolution, and future. We'll also discuss the foundations of quantum computing, and some of the challenges to consider for breaking into the field.
