Google says it has developed a kind of quantum computer capable of identifying objects that appear in digital photos and videos. According to the company, the system outperforms the classical algorithms running across its current network of worldwide data centers.
Hartmut Neven, Google technical lead manager for image recognition, recently unveiled the company’s ongoing quantum computing work with a post to the company’s research blog, saying he was due to demonstrate the technology at last week’s Neural Information Processing Systems conference in Vancouver.
