From Washington Post: (Look at number 1)
"If Google can tap the theoretical power of quantum computing, those types of operations could get much easier. The company did not say precisely how it might use them in the real world. But off the top of my head, here are just a few of the Google technologies that could conceivably benefit from improved machine-learning algorithms:
-
Google Now, the mobile personal-assistant program that attempts to anticipate your needs
- Self-driving cars
-
Google Goggles, which recognizes images like the Eiffel Tower when you point your phone’s camera at them
- Search by Image
- Voice Search
- Google Prediction API
- And, of course, good old Web search"
