Quantum computers can currently only run small programs but a trick for reducing a quantum program's size could boost their power for running AI algorithms

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.
While 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 is because those that currently exist are relatively small and not very powerful.
