It’s a user-friendly wrapper for existing fake quantum. It’s not a “physics shortcut” and it doesn’t “tackle quantum problems.”
Also no quantum problems have ever been “reserved for AI.” Some quantum solutions borrow optimization techniques from machine learning, but classical machine learning algorithms aren’t designed to leverage (or even consider) quantum effects.
I’m putting this out there because there’s a tendency to lump together all the buzzwords, like AI and quantum, into one big category of powerful-technologies-I-don’t-understand that results in hyperbolic projections and magical thinking that thwarts progress.
