University College London to explore Natural Language Processing on Quantum Computers

A new consortium funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering will explore Natural Language Processing on quantum computers and the industrial relevance of quantum natural language processing (QNLP).

The quantum technology company Quantinuum has joined a consortium with University College London (UCL) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to explore the industrial relevance of quantum natural language processing (QNLP) and quantum-inspired natural language processing.

The BBC hopes to find new ways to represent content in forms readable by computers, to support tasks such as content discovery and archival retrieval.
