Recenzijas
'The book gives a fantastic overview of an emerging research landscape where quantum sciences and machine learning meet. A good place to start for young researchers who want to help shape this exciting intersection.' Maria Schuld, Xanadu, Canada 'Imagine trying to learn quantum mechanics without knowing differential equations and linear algebra. A daunting task, since these are the mathematical languages behind the Schrödinger and Heisenberg pictures! Now imagine trying to do cutting-edge research in the quantum sciences without knowing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Similarly daunting, since AI/ML is fast becoming the language of scientific discovery! This book will teach you the pillars of AI/ML through the lens of the quantum sciences, offering insights to novices and experts alike about how you can apply AI/ML in a scientifically rigorous way to various quantum systems.' Jesse Thaler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 'This book is a valuable contribution to the field, striking a thoughtful balance between being self-contained and providing a broad survey of the different research directions. For physics students new to machine learning, the book can serve as an excellent entry point as it covers the essential foundational concepts. Likewise, experienced physicists already incorporating machine learning into their research will benefit from its well-curated overview of this rapidly evolving field.' Miranda Cheng, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands and Academia Sinica, Taiwan
