Quantum computers could run artificially intelligent algorithms that initially appear to require too much computational power thanks to a new method for writing quantum programs.

Though, quantum computers have the potential to outperform conventional computers for many different types of calculations, so far they have only done so for a few specialised computations. That’s because those that currently exist are relatively small and not very powerful.
