When will the convergence and what will be the potential outcomes of the convergence of quantum computing with AI? #AI #quantumcomputing

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.
