Transformers, inspired by the brain's networks, are a key component of powerful AI models like ChatGPT.
Quantum researchers are now exploring the possibility of running transformers on quantum computers to tackle encryption and chemistry challenges.
Transformers excel at identifying important parts of input data through an 'attention mechanism,' mimicking human language processing.
Quantum computers, with qubits that can exist in multiple states, offer the potential for superior attention mechanisms compared to classical computers.
A recent study demonstrated the feasibility of quantum transformers for tasks like medical image analysis, showing promising accuracy levels.
