you need a quantum algorithm to take advantage of a quantum computer. it's pointless to run a classical algorithm like gradient descent on a quantum computer. I don't know of any quantum algorithms that currently exist for ML but a very well known one for prime factorization is Shor's algorithm.

Quantum NN's are quantum algorithms, are they not? Are you thinking of hybrid nets where only a few neurons are quantum?

edit: ok I see, you're saying GD is the problem, we need a QC algorithm to train QNN's. I would definitely agree, but as it stands I don't think there is one?
