Quantum Computing in Genomics and Personalized Medicine

Quantum fault tolerance refers to avoiding the uncontrolled cascade of errors caused by interaction of qubits. The goal is to achieve, through redundancy, a useful quantum computer given imperfect devices underneath. Operating on and correcting the already encoded quantum data will require many more ‘physical qubits’. Even though superconducting implementations are the most common and seem to be the frontrunners, some of the other technologies such as trapped ions are gaining traction too. Each technology has its strengths and limitations in terms of their gate times, coherence times, cooling required, and versatility. In fact, entangled states can be used to… Read More View More Quantum Computing in Genomics and Personalized Medicine

Personalized Healthcare with ML

While emphasis is often placed on choosing the best learning algorithm, researchers have found that some of the most interesting questions arise out of none of the available machine learning algorithms performing to par. Most of the time this is a problem with training data, but this also occurs when working with machine learning in new domains. Genetic algorithms actually draw inspiration from the biological process of natural selection. As you build the movie recommendation system, you will learn how to train algorithms using training data so you can predict the outcome for future datasets. You will also learn about… Read More View More Personalized Healthcare with ML
