Speech tech poised to take a quantum leap

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its capabilities have significantly transformed speech technology in a short amount of time. But an equally exciting innovation is anticipated to be an even bigger game changer in the industry: quantum computing, which represents a groundbreaking approach to computation, using quantum mechanics to perform certain tasks much faster than traditional computers. It relies on quantum particles like atoms, ions, or photons to harness the principles of superposition, entanglement, and interference in quantum bits, or qubits. Unlike classical bits used by traditional computers, which are limited to a state of 0 or 1, qubits can exist in multiple states at once due to superposition.

Learn why experts are predicting that quantum computing will allow us to solve problems that are currently intractable with classical devices across chemistry, machine learning, finance, and so many other problems we’ve yet to even conceive by reading my latest article for Speech Technology, available here.
