The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) has released a report detailing the potential synergies between Quantum Computing (QC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The report, based on a workshop, highlights how these two technologies can work together to solve problems currently beyond the reach of classical computing. AI could be used to accelerate circuit design, application development, and error correction in QC. Conversely, QC offers the potential to enhance AI models by efficiently solving complex optimization and probabilistic tasks, which are infeasible for classical systems.
A hybrid approach, integrating the strengths of classical AI methods with QC algorithms, is expected to substantially reduce algorithmic complexity and improve the efficiency of computational processes and resource allocation. The report identifies key areas where this integration can yield significant benefits, including chemistry, materials science, logistics, energy, and environmental modeling. The applications could range from predicting high-impact weather events to improving the modeling of chemical reactions for pharmaceutical advancements. The report also acknowledges the necessity of cross-industry collaboration, expanded academic research, and increased federal support to advance QC + AI development. Celia Merzbacher, Executive Director of QED-C, emphasized the importance of collaboration between industry, academia, and governments to maximize the potential of these technologies. A House Science Committee hearing is scheduled to assess the progress of the National Quantum Initiative, underscoring the growing importance of quantum technologies in the U.S. References :

SAS and Intel are collaborating to redefine AI architecture through optimized intelligence, moving away from a GPU-centric approach. This partnership focuses on aligning hardware and software roadmaps to deliver smarter performance, lower costs, and greater trust across various environments. Optimized intelligence allows businesses to tailor their AI infrastructure to specific use cases, which ensures efficient and ethical AI practices with human-centered design, instilling greater confidence in real-world outcomes. SAS and Intel have a 25-year relationship built around this concept, with deep investments in technical alignment to ensure hardware and software co-evolve.
SAS is integrating Intel's silicon innovations, such as AMX acceleration and Gaudi GPUs, into its Viya platform to provide cost-effective performance. This collaboration enables clients to deploy advanced models without overspending on infrastructure, with Viya demonstrating significant performance improvements on the latest Intel platforms. The company is also working with companies like Procter & Gamble and quantum hardware providers including D-Wave, IBM, and QuEra to develop hybrid quantum-classical solutions for real-world problems across industries like life sciences, finance, and manufacturing. A recent global SAS survey revealed that over 60% of business leaders are actively investing in or exploring quantum AI, although concerns remain regarding high costs, a lack of understanding, and unclear use cases. SAS aims to make quantum AI more accessible by working on pilot projects and research, providing guidance to businesses on applying quantum technologies. SAS Principal Quantum Architect Bill Wisotsky states that quantum technologies allow companies to analyze more data and achieve fast answers to complex questions, and SAS wants to simplify this research for its customers.

Recent developments highlight advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and cryptography. Classiq Technologies, in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation and Mizuho-DL Financial Technology, achieved up to 95% compression of quantum circuits for Monte Carlo simulations used in financial risk analysis. This project explored the use of Classiq’s technology to generate more efficient quantum circuits for a novel quantum Monte Carlo simulation algorithm incorporating pseudo-random numbers proposed by Mizuho-DL FT, evaluating the feasibility of implementing quantum algorithms in financial applications.
Oxford researchers demonstrated a fast, 99.8% fidelity two-qubit gate using a simplified circuit design, achieving this using a modified coaxmon circuit architecture. Also, a collaborative team from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Texas at Austin demonstrated a certified randomness protocol using a 56-qubit Quantinuum System Model H2 trapped-ion quantum computer. This is a major milestone for real-world quantum applications, with the certified randomness validated using over 1.1 exaflops of classical computing power, confirming the quantum system’s ability to generate entropy beyond classical reach. The 2025 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Artificial Intelligence will be held in Naples, Italy, from November 2-5, 2025, with a paper submission deadline of May 15, 2025. Vanderbilt University will host a series of workshops devoted to Groups in Geometry, Analysis and Logic starting May 28, 2025. References :
