Quantum computers and AI seem like they're made for each other, because both depend on optimization algorithms. Now, whether our current AI algorithms can be sped-up greatly by quantum computers, or we'll need to find new AI algorithms that are sped-up by them, we'll have to see. I'm sure Google will try to port DeepMind to its own universal quantum computer in the next few years.

I agree. Bringing some funky extreme non-linearity into A.I training would be interesting. However, the models would probably be very different than what we have today.

Who else are truly building quantum computers other than D-Wave and IBM?
