Abstract - The exponential growth of large-scale data has created significant challenges in storage, processing, and optimization that classical computing systems struggle to address efficiently. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm that integrates quantum computing concepts with machine learning techniques to tackle complex big data optimization problems. By utilizing quantum features such as superposition, entanglement, and parallelism, QML algorithms can accelerate tasks like clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction, which are traditionally computationally demanding. Recent advancements indicate strong potential for quantum-inspired optimization in fields including cybersecurity, financial portfolio management, Industry 4.0, and healthcare analytics. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of QML algorithms designed for big data optimization, examining their advantages, limitations, and application domains. Additionally, it discusses the performance trade-offs associated with hybrid quantum–classical frameworks and highlights future research directions aimed at creating secure, scalable, and resource-efficient quantum solutions for large-scale, data-driven decision-making. As data volumes continue to expand at extremely rapid rates, processing big data with traditional machine learning (ML) techniques has become increasingly challenging. ML models often struggle with issues related to computational power, efficient parameter tuning, accurate model selection, and maintaining high performance when dealing with massive datasets. Deep learning approaches—such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs)—demand substantial computational resources to train on large-scale supervised learning tasks. Moreover, the difficulty of training these networks grows significantly as the size and complexity of the datasets increase. In response to these limitations, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising research domain at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning. Quantum computers operate fundamentally differently from classical systems, using the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and process information. As a result, quantum computational methods have the potential to address certain problems that are computationally intensive or infeasible for classical machines.

Quantum computing has an enormous potential in machine learning, where problems can quickly scale to be intractable for classical computation. Quantum machine learning is research area that combines the interplay of ideas from quantum computing and machine learning. Powerful and useful machine learning is dependent on having large-scale datasets used to train the models to be able to solve real-life problems. Currently, quantum machine learning lacks a plethora of large-scale quantum datasets required to further develop the models and test the quantum machine learning algorithms. Lack of large datasets is currently limiting the quantum advantage in the field of quantum machine learning. In this thesis, the concept of quantum data and different types of applied quantum datasets used to develop quantum machine learning models is studied. The research methodology is based on a systematic and comparative literature review of the state of the art articles in quantum computing and quantum machine learning in the recent years. We classify datasets into inherent and non-inherent quantum data based on the nature of the data. The preliminary literature review addresses patterns in the applied quantum machine learning. Testing and benchmarking QML models primarily uses non-inherent quantum data, or classical data encoded into the quantum system, while separate research is focused on generating inherent quantum datasets.
Quantum machine learning (QML) provides a transformative approach to data analysis by integrating the principles of quantum computing with classical machine learning methods. With the exponential growth of data and the increasing complexity of computational tasks, quantum algorithms offer tremendous advantages in terms of processing speed, memory efficiency, and the ability to resolve issues intractable for classical systems. In this work, the use of QML techniques for both supervised and unsupervised learning problems is explored. Quantum-enhanced models such Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) show outstanding performance in classification and regression tasks by using quantum kernels and entanglement in supervised learning. Moreover, hybrid quantum-classical solutions offer useful implementations on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, hence bridging the gap between present quantum technology and practical uses. By means of comparative analysis, this paper emphasizes the possible benefits and drawbacks of QML, thereby providing understanding of its future importance in sectors including material science, finance, and healthcare. In the end, QML opens the path for a new era of intelligent data processing and solves until unthinkable difficult challenges.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a paradigm that combines the computational advantages of quantum computing with the predictive capabilities of machine learning to address complex data classification problems. As data dimensionality increases rapidly and classical learning algorithms face scalability constraints, QML leverages quantum parallelism, entanglement, and high-dimensional Hilbert space representations to enhance learning performance. This paper reviews and analyses advanced QML algorithms, including Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM), Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC), Quantum Neural Networks (QNN), and Quantum Kernel Estimation, for optimizing both binary and multi-class classification tasks under high-complexity conditions. The proposed QML framework is evaluated on benchmark datasets like MNIST, the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (BCW) dataset, and synthetic nonlinear datasets, and is compared against classical machine learning baselines, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests (RF), and Deep Neural Networks (DNN). The results demonstrate notable improvements in classification accuracy (up to 96.8%), decision margins, and computational efficiency in quantum-suitable data regimes, while also highlighting current limitations related to noise, circuit depth, and hardware constraints. Overall, the study presents a unified QML framework, theoretical formulations, and experimental evaluations that illustrate the potential of quantum algorithms for next-generation classification tasks.
ABSTRACT Classical deep learning achieves high accuracy in image analysis tasks but require large volume of data for generalisation. Medical image datasets are often small and expensive to annotate. Arguably, quantum machine learning (QML) has the following benefits over classical machine learning (ML). (i) Quantum superposition and entanglement allow quantum machines to excel over the computational competence of classical computers. (ii) By parallel processing, QML solves problems faster. (iii) QML produces promising results with limited‐size image datasets and limited‐parameter circuits. The practical advantages of QML over classical methods are still emerging and not consistent across all application domains. Ongoing research in quantum hardware and algorithms are expected to bridge this gap. In this review, we provide an outline of quantum neural networks, quantum convolution neural networks and various hybrid models characterised by continuous learning. We also explore human brain‐inspired quantum neuromorphic computing using quantum spiking neural networks, characterised by learning from discrete neuromorphic spikes. We discuss quantum circuits, used for different medical image applications, from the perspectives of the circuit topology, the numbers of input and measurement qubits and rotation and entanglement gates. Furthermore, we conducted a systematic review of the literature on QML‐based medical image applications, datasets and benchmarks, and the analysis of the research gap separately indicating possible improvement opportunities.
Machine Learning (ML) has changed the way computers work by letting them learn from data and make smart choices. However, traditional ML techniques encounter scalability and efficiency constraints as datasets get larger and computational problems become more complicated[1]. These restrictions could be circumvented by the new paradigms that quantum computing offers by using entanglement and superposition [2], [3]. The combination of the Quantum computing with the Machine Learning is called the Quantum Machine Learning(QML), offers efficiency improvements, new algorithmic opportunities, and speedups in certain linear algebraic operations. So, this review dives deeply into quantum-classical algorithms, with a particular emphasis on the approaches like quantum neural network and quantum support vector machines. We examine computational complexity, architectural design, benchmarking findings, and real-world applications (such as optimization, cryptography, and classification). We also discuss important issues including scalability, data encoding, and noise, and we suggest future paths for error prevention and scalable structures.
