This is complicated. Everything must be translated into another language with precision. Some academics will always show up and say, “That is wrong because of this or that.”
In Polish, we now have an odd consensus: we cannot publicly say "quantum computer" (komputer kwantowy). Instead, we must say "prototype of quantum computer infrastructure" (prototyp infrastruktury komputera kwantowego). In Polish, it sounds clumsy and overcomplicated.
The European Commission even created the CEN-CENELEC Standardization Roadmap on Quantum Technologies.
Finally, the well-known Polish engineer Dr. Grzegorz Kasprowicz uses the term kwant-ówki — a playful creation from “quant” with the Polish suffix “-ówki,” something like “quantu-let” or more like "quant-things" to describe all quantum technologies.
This is super interesting! I would love to know if the Polish authorities have a definition for when you can start using the term "quantum computer". 100 logical qubits? Some other definition of quantum advantage. Fascinating!
Hmm...good question! I think it depends on which quantum machine learning you mean. Machine learning for modeling quantum physics...I'd go "Quantum Physics: yes & Quantum Info: no". For machine learning running on a quantum computer, I'd go "Quantum Physics: no & Quantum Info: yes". I think there are probably some other ways people use the term quantum machine learning. What do you think?
I would put everything into quantum physics. Quantum information is an abstraction based on certain kinds of physical experiments. But having one category won’t help you explain quantum tech to investors. I think a completely different approach is needed.
Thanks this is super useful, Gerard. I would def love to hear your thoughts on a different approach, if you have something mind. Happy to chat offline if you prefer.
Oh yes, quantum semantic rules :D

This is good question. In our ecosystem we need quantum supremation to us term quantum computing 😁
Where would you put quantum machine learning? It can be analogue or digital and it usually combines both classical and quantum computation.
