Literature review
Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen significant growth in recent years, with applications
ranging from speech recognition and natural language processing to image and video
analysis. However, despite its success, there are still many challenges that traditional
computing techniques cannot solve. One of the most significant challenges is the issue of
scalability. As datasets continue to grow in size and complexity, the computational resources
required to process them also increase exponentially. This has led to growing interest in
quantum computing as a potential solution to these challenges. Quantum computing is a new
paradigm of computing that operates using quantum bits or qubits instead of classical bits.
Quantum computing offers the promise of much faster processing speeds and the ability to
solve problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers (Rawat et al., 2022). This has
led to a growing interest in using quantum computing to improve AI, with researchers
exploring a range of potential applications for quantum computing in this field.
One of the most promising applications of quantum computing in AI is in the field of
machine learning. Machine learning is a key component of many AI applications, and it
involves training algorithms to recognize patterns in large datasets. However, (Dunjko and
Briegel, 2017) describe that as datasets continue to grow in size and complexity, traditional
machine-learning algorithms can struggle to keep up with the demands of processing and
analyzing the data. This is where quantum computing can offer significant advantages. In
addition to this (Zeng and Coecke, 2020) states that another promising application of
quantum computing in AI is in the field of natural language processing. Natural language
processing involves analyzing and understanding human language, and it has important
applications in areas such as chatbots, voice assistants, and machine translation. However,
processing natural language is a complex task that requires significant computational
resources, and traditional approaches can struggle to keep up with the demands of large-scale
language processing.
In recent years, several researchers have proposed using quantum computing to improve
natural language processing. According to (Khan and Robles-Kelly, 2020) a quantum
algorithm for natural language processing based on the quantum singular value
decomposition can perform better for the artificial intelligence NLP. It is shown that the
algorithm could achieve better performance than classical algorithms in certain language
processing tasks. While the potential of quantum computing in AI is significant, several
challenges need to be addressed. One of the most significant challenges is the issue of noise
and error correction. Quantum computing systems are highly susceptible to noise and errors,

which can significantly impact the accuracy of calculations. This is a major challenge in AI
applications, where accuracy is critical.
Several approaches to addressing this challenge have been proposed. According to
(Perdomo-Ortiz et al., 2018) a quantum error mitigation algorithm based on machine learning
techniques can solve certain issues in the machine learning integration with Quantum
computing. It is demonstrated that the algorithm could improve the accuracy of quantum
computations, even in the presence of noise. Another challenge in using quantum computing
in AI is the issue of hardware limitations. Quantum computing systems are still in the early
stages of development, and the hardware available for research and development is limited.
This means that researchers may not have access to the computational resources required to
test their algorithms and models at scale.
Despite these challenges, the potential of quantum computing in AI is significant. As datasets
continue to grow in size and complexity, the computational resources required to process and
analyze them will also increase. Quantum computing offers the promise of much faster
processing speeds and the ability to solve problems that are beyond the reach of classical
computers. This has the potential to drive innovation in AI and open up new avenues for
research and development. However, more research is needed to fully understand the
potential of quantum computing in AI, and to address the challenges associated with using
quantum computing in this field.
