    Intersections between Quantum, AI, and Data

    The megatrends of AI, data, and quantum are intimately interconnected and overlaps between these fields often lead to unforeseen synergies and breakthroughs. For example, discovery of functional molecules in chemical and pharmaceutical industries is based on producing millions of data points with quantum calculations, then using AI to construct efficient force fields, and finally executing simulations that produce data that can be compared to experiments. Such feedback loops happen through all fields of science and technology. For this reason, these megatrends should not be perceived as isolated components, but rather as an interacting ecosystem.  

    The main challenge to capitalize on this feedback between AI, data, and quantum is to build multidisciplinary teams that integrate experts with multidisciplinary expertise, including domain experts (in chemistry, biology, physics, or engineering), AI researchers, data scientists, and software engineers. These teams should have direct access to state-of-the-art high performance computing platforms (Meluxina, AI Factory), and work in synergy with university researchers, startups, and established industry.
