What do "$i$-th basic network", "quantum multiplexers" and "quantum parallelism" mean in this context? How are they beneficial?
I have been reading the paper A quantum-implementable neural network model (Chen et al., 2017) for a few days now, but failed to understand how exactly their algorithm offers a speedup over the ...

Optical quantum computers VS Superconducting quantum computers VS Electron-spin quantum computers
One of the main problems of superconducting quantum computers is that it is necessary to maintain a very low temperature (near absolute zero).
Such cooling is very expensive and complex.
Why, then, ...
