Telstra Partners with SQC to Explore Quantum Computing
Australian tech firm Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is developing commercial-scale quantum computing technology.
Telstra has teamed up with SQC to test the applicability of quantum computing-enhanced machine learning to predictive telecom network analytics.
- Over a 12-month period, SQC and Telstra tested and evaluated SQC's quantum-enhanced machine-learning system called Watermelon.
- Watermelon is a "quantum reservoir that generates quantum features that can be used in an AI model".
Telstra uses "a combination of machine learning and AI to help predict network performance and detect changes in network patterns."
The partnership aims to improve existing predictive network analytics processes.
