At that time, quantum computers were still in the early stages of development, and their capabilities were limited to solving specific mathematical problems and conducting basic simulations.
Quantum computers, on the other hand, utilize quantum bits or qubits, which operate under the principles of quantum mechanics and offer the potential for parallel processing and exponential speedup in certain computations.
Furthermore, there is currently no established consensus on the exact number of qubits required to effectively run AI models comparable to those executed on classical computers.
