with a proper algorithm which may well not exist it's in theory possible to e.g. perform deep learning on all training examples in a single pass or something like that.

But those hopes are not very much based on reality so why entertain them in the first place?

It's a bit like saying that QC will be awesome because thanks to it people could in theory find the cure for cancer, in some way, somehow.

To be fair, even the non general QCs like D-Wave are supposedly great at protein folding, which is one of the barriers to various cancer cures.

I didn't realize imagination was banned from HN now, my bad.

Imagination that's not based on anything is generally considered to be off-topic, sure.

Can you tell me the quantum algorithm that will do this ?

i cannot because i'm pretty sure it hasn't been discovered yet and cannot be certain it's even possible to figure one out. IANACSPhD.
