Machine learning techniques provide a remarkable tool for advancing scientific research, and this area has significantly grown in the past few years. In particular, reinforcement learning, an approach that maximizes a (long-term) reward by means of the actions taken by an agent in a given environment, can allow one for optimizing scientific...

This tutorial provides an overview of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), a relatively novel discipline that brings together concepts from Machine Learning (ML), Quantum Computing (QC) and Quantum Information (QI). The great development experienced by QC, partly due to the involvement of giant technological companies as well as the popularity and...

We report on the first proof-of-concept system demonstrating how one can control a qubit with mental activity. We developed a method to encode neural correlates of mental activity as instructions for a quantum computer. Brain signals are detected utilising electrodes placed on the scalp of a person, who learns how to produce the required mental...

Pricing interest-rate financial derivatives is a major problem in finance, in which it is crucial to accurately reproduce the time evolution of interest rates. Several stochastic dynamics have been proposed in the literature to model either the instantaneous interest rate or the instantaneous forward rate. A successful approach to model the...

We propose Quantum Brain Networks (QBraiNs) as a new interdisciplinary field integratingknowledge and methods from neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. Theobjective is to develop an enhanced connectivity between the human brain and quantum computersfor a variety of disruptive applications. We foresee the emergence...

Prediction of financial crashes in a complex financial network is known to be an NP-hard problem, which means that no known algorithm can guarantee to find optimal solutions efficiently. We experimentally explore a novel approach to this problem by using a D-Wave quantum computer, benchmarking its performance for attaining financial...
