Quantum statistical approach quiets big, noisy data

April 3, 2025

Big data got too big. 

A research team with statisticians from Cornell has developed a data representation method inspired by quantum mechanics that handles large data sets more efficiently than traditional methods by simplifying them and filtering out noise. 

This method could spur innovation in data-rich but statistically intimidating fields, like health care and epigenetics, where traditional data methods have thus far proved insufficient.
