Quantum Machine Learning is a newly emerging interdisciplinary research area investigating how quantum information can solve pattern recognition tasks in machine learning. It draws on other related fields such as quantum algorithms, quantum optimisation and quantum probability theory.

The South African Quantum Machine Learning Meetings provide a platform to discuss, share, and present ideas related to quantum machine learning. They consist of a Workshop 18-22 July 2016 as well as a Summer School 23 January - 3 February 2017. Set in the stunning South African landscape, they aim at creating an intimate and productive atmosphere to explore the potential and challenges of combining quantum information with data science.

A further goal of the Quantum Machine Learning Meetings is to lay the foundation for a joint monograph on the topic to which the participants are encouraged to contribute.
