AI Is Solving Quantum's Biggest Challenges - Here's What You Need To Know

We've just released the Marks & Clerk AI Report 2025, highlighting a massive surge in patent activity around Quantum AI (QAI). At the same time, a new review led by NVIDIA explores how classical AI is accelerating quantum computing development. When people talk about quantum computing (QC) and artificial intelligence (AI), the conversation often drifts toward a sci-fi future where quantum computers turbocharge AI models. But this research suggests the reality is far more immediate — and far more practical.

Instead of quantum computers powering AI, AI is helping to build quantum computers.

Quantum hardware is notoriously difficult to design and operate. Traditional engineering approaches struggle with this complexity, but AI techniques like reinforcement learning and generative models are proving to be game-changers when it comes to designing optimal qubit layouts and circuit geometries, calibrating and controlling quantum devices, and managing real-time error
