#407 โ€“ Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation & AGI

correlations that are very quantum but which systems are still relevant to industry, that's a big question. People are leaning towards chemistry, nuclear physics. I've worked on actually processing inputs from quantum sensors. If you have a network of quantum sensors, they've captured a quantum mechanical image of the world.

and how to post-process that that becomes a sort of quantum form of machine perception. For example, Fermilab has a project exploring detecting dark matter with these quantum sensors. To me, that's in alignment with my quest to understand the universe ever since I was a child, and so someday I hope that

We can have very large networks of quantum sensors that help us peer into the earliest parts of the universe. For example, the LIGO is a quantum sensor. It's just a very large one. So yeah, I would say quantum machine perception simulations, grokking quantum simulations, similar to AlphaFold. AlphaFold understood the probability distribution over configurations of proteins. You can understand

Yeah, that was a funky paper. That was one of my first papers in quantum deep learning. Everybody was saying, oh, I think deep learning is going to be sped up by quantum computers. And I was like, well, the best way to predict the future is to invent it. So here's a 100-page paper. Have fun. Essentially, quantum computing is usually... you embed reversible operations into a quantum computation.

And so the trick there was to do a feed-forward operation and do what we call a phase kick, but really it's just the force kick. You just kick the system with a certain force that is proportional to your loss function that you wish to optimize. And then by performing uncomputation, You start with a superposition over parameters, right? Which is pretty funky.

Now you're not just... You don't have just a point for parameters. You have a superposition over many potential parameters, right? And our goal is to... Is using phase kicks somehow? Right. To adjust parameters? Because phase kicks emulate... having the parameter space be like a particle in n dimensions and you're trying to get the Schrodinger equation
