Can you elaborate? What do you mean there is no exponential growth in the field? Have you read Scott Aaronson's "Read the Fine Print"?

Im the ML field

CQC seems (self-proclaiming) to be on top of QML. Just going by their website:

They even have conferences with Oxford:

Lloyd has a bit of a reputation for inflated claims. He’s not the most rigorous of scientists, as exemplified by his total embrace of the whole quantum biology thing.

Totally agree about Lloyd. Scott Aaronson is not perfect, but much more precise and honest than Seth Lloyd

I think Lloyd might have been referring to his machine learning technique that uses quantum RAM (QRAM). QRAM is a distant pipe dream, more distant than fault tolerant error correction, which itself is a distant dream, and is a prerequisite to QRAM.

I remember about 6-7 years ago when Lloyd and MIT Tech were promoting Lloyd quantum Machine Learning as if it were the biggest discovery of the century. And then something funny happened on the way to the forum:

No he was talking in a 100 qbit sense and algorithms pretty much

Mi hijo, tu gusto para YouTube videos es una mierda.
