I consider him one of the most interesting people I\u2019ve met and an inspiration to us all.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, he is a research scientist working on quantum machine learning, an emergent field halfway between data science and quantum information processing. Peter also has a long history in machine learning on supercomputers and large-scale simulations of quantum systems. As a former digital nomad, Peter has been to over a hundred countries, he is currently based in Barcelona where, outside work hours, he focuses on dancing salsa, running long distances, and advising startups.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\\'blog-photo\\' href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/peter-wittek-a-roving-adventurer-between-machine-intelligence-and-quantum-physics2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"2016-02-28-1456691593-1100960-IMG_2684.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/peter-wittek-a-roving-adventurer-between-machine-intelligence-and-quantum-physics2.jpg\" width=\"570\" height=\"557\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/sriram-krishnan2\/peter-wittek-a-roving-adv_b_9343086.html\">http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/sriram-krishnan2\/peter-wittek-...43086.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must admit, when people see that you work with Quantum Computing and\/ or networking; they have no idea how to classify you because you\u2019re working on Nextgen \u201cdisruptive\u201d technology that most of mainstream has not been exposed to.
