Abstract One of the most promising areas of research to obtain practical advantage is Quantum Machine Learning which was born as a result of cross-fertilisation of ideas between Quantum Computing and Classical Machine Learning. In this paper, we apply Quantum Machine Learning (QML) frameworks to improve binary classification models for noisy datasets which are prevalent in financial datasets. The metric we use for assessing the performance of our quantum classifiers is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC/AUC). By combining such approaches as hybrid-neural networks, parametric circuits, and data re-uploading we create QML inspired architectures and utilise them for the classification of non-convex 2 and 3-dimensional figures. An extensive benchmarking of our new FULL HYBRID classifiers against existing quantum and classical classifier models, reveals that our novel models exhibit better learning characteristics to asymmetrical Gaussian noise in the dataset compared to known quantum classifiers and performs equally well for existing classical classifiers, with a slight improvement over classical results in the region of the high noise.

In this work, we studied the use of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) algorithms for binary classification and compared their performance with classical Machine Learning (ML) methods. QML merges principles of Quantum Computing (QC) and ML, offering improved efficiency and potential quantum advantage in data-driven tasks and when solving complex problems. In binary classification, where the goal is to assign data to one of two categories, QML uses quantum algorithms to process large datasets efficiently. Quantum algorithms like Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) exploit quantum parallelism and entanglement to enhance performance over classical methods. This study focuses on two common QML algorithms, Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) and QNN. We used the Qiskit software and conducted the experiments with three different datasets. Data preprocessing included dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and standardization using scalers. The results showed that quantum algorithms demonstrated competitive performance against their classical counterparts in terms of accuracy, while QSVC performed better than QNN. These findings suggest that QML holds potential for improving computational efficiency in binary classification tasks. This opens the way for more efficient and scalable solutions in complex classification challenges and shows the complementary role of quantum computing.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that harnesses the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize classical machine learning paradigms. This paper presents a benchmarking study focused on four quantum classifier algorithms: Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC), Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC), Quantum Neural Network Classifier (QNNC) and Pegasos Quantum Support Vector Classifier (PegasosQSVC). These quantum classifiers hold promise for unlocking quantum advantages in classification tasks. However, a systematic assessment of their performance across diverse datasets is yet to be fully explored. In this research study, we evaluate and compare the classification performance of quantum machine learning classifiers on various datasets (Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and Titanic) and compare them to a classical model. Our findings revealed that PegasosQSVC consistently maintained high performance across all datasets with the highest average accuracy, recall, and F1-score values of 0.81, 0.72, and 0.71, respectively, followed by VQC, followed by VQC, while QSVC and QNNC perform variably. Nevertheless, QSVC was found to balance performance and training time, achieving an average accuracy of 0.81 and a training time of 177 seconds. Overall, the classical model surpassed QML models as it was up to 10% higher in average accuracy.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a compelling research domain that unites quantum computing principles with classical learning theory to address computationally demanding classification problems.This paper investigates two principal QML architectures-Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNN)-within the context of binary classification.We present an end-to-end hybrid quantum-classical pipeline applied to the UCI Mushroom dataset, comprising 22 categorical attributes, and demonstrate that quantumenhanced models can achieve competitive classification performance under present-day hardware constraints.The pipeline integrates Quantum Random Access Code (QRAC) encoding for dimensionality reduction, ZZFeatureMapbased quantum feature mapping, RealAmplitudes parameterized ansatz, and classical optimizer-driven parameter updates using the COBYLA algorithm.The complete system is deployed through a Flask web interface and containerized with Docker for reproducibility.Experimental results on a quantum simulator indicate a classification accuracy of 87.4%, precision of 0.891, and recall of 0.863, establishing the practical viability of NISQ-era quantum classifiers for structured categorical data.The paper further analyzes convergence behavior, circuit depth effects, and comparative performance against classical baselines, providing insights into the strengths and limitations of current QML architectures for real-world classification deployment.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm that combines principles of quantum computation with classical learning techniques to address challenges posed by complex, high-dimensional, and non-linear datasets. This work presents a systematic experimental study of quantum-enhanced classification and clustering using hybrid quantum–classical models evaluated on synthetically generated datasets. Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) and Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) are implemented using the Qiskit framework and benchmarked against established classical algorithms. The synthetic datasets are carefully designed to control linearity, dimensionality, class overlap, and nonlinear structure, enabling a detailed performance comparison under both ideal and noisy simulation conditions. The experimental results indicate that quantum feature representations can enhance class separability in non-linear scenarios, while also highlighting the practical limitations imposed by noise sensitivity and circuit depth constraints inherent to Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices .
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is a newly emerging research area at the intersection of classical machine learning (CML) and quantum computing (QC). Data is becoming voluminous rapidly, so it is challenging for classical computers to train Machine Learning (ML) models over massive datasets. The hope is that quantum physics' intrinsic features, such as entanglement, superposition, and interference, could be exploited as resources for training ML models on big datasets that would otherwise be relatively impossible for classical computers. It is theoretically proven that quantum computers have an exponential-time advantage over their classical counterparts in solving several problems, e.g., complex large dimensional matrix multiplication, factorization problem, unstructured database search, etc. QML models attempt to find a quantum advantage over their classical counterparts. Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) are hybrid quantum neural networks to perform the task of classification using QML models. VQC models in the present NISQ (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum — 50 to 100 qubits) era can produce comparable and even better results than Classical models. In this article, we examined the performance of a VQC while performing a simple binary classification task. In this article, we use a VQC to evaluate this method's performance empirically. We constructed a VQC to predict the label of fresh input for the typical Iris dataset comprising pairings of target outputs and training inputs. Our quantum classifier can reasonably predict species labels using only four qubits. These levels are fairly good compared to the accuracy levels attained by classical classifiers.
