Strange Bedfellows: Quantum Mechanics and Data Mining
MARVIN J. WEINSTEIN · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 2009
Last year, in 2008, I gave a talk titled {\it Quantum Calisthenics}. This year I am going to tell you about how the work I described then has spun off into a most unlikely direction. What I am going to talk about is how one maps the problem of finding clusters in a given data set into a problem in quantum mechanics. I will then use the tricks I described to let quantum evolution lets the clusters come together on their own.
