“…Another interesting area of research that is likely to grow is asking if and how quantum computers can help improve state-of-the art ML algorithms (Arunachalam and de Wolf, 2017; Benedetti et al , 2016, 2017; Bromley and Rebentrost, 2018; Ciliberto et al , 2017; Daskin, 2018; Innocenti et al , 2018; Mitarai et al , 2018; Perdomo-Ortiz et al , 2017; Rebentrost et al , 2017; Schuld et al , 2017; Schuld and Killoran, 2018; Schuld et al , 2015). Concrete examples that seek to extend some of the basic ideas and methods we introduced in this review to the quantum computing realm include: algorithms for quantum-assisted gradient descent (Kerenidis and Prakash, 2017; Rebentrost et al , 2016), classification (Schuld and Petruccione, 2017), and Ridge regression (Yu et al , 2017).…”
