Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning (2021/2022)

Learning outcomes

The goal of this course is to show what benefits current and future quantum technologies can provide to machine learning, focusing on algorithms that are challenging for classical computers.
In particular, the students will be given the adequate notions and knowledge to be able to solve machine learning problems by means of quantum algorithms; to identify problems in machine learning that would benefit from using quantum resources; to implement learning algorithms on quantum computers using the available public platforms that allow us to access them.
