August 16, 2026 — The 2018 Verdict Still Haunting Quantum Machine Learning
This week a KAIST team showed that bound entanglement — real, provable quantum correlation that can't be distilled into clean entangled pairs — can't deliver the exponential learning speedup the quantum machine learning field has long attributed to entanglement generically. This Sunday think piece walks the full fault line: the KAIST result itself, the Huang-Kueng-Preskill and ancilla-qubit camps defending real exponential advantages, the 2018 dequantization tradition that keeps eating QML's boldest claims, and the Schuld/Killoran and Aaronson objections to the whole 'quantum beats classical'…
