Abstract In recent years, machine and quantum learning have gained considerable momentum sustained by growth in computational power and data availability and have shown exceptional aptness for solving recognition- and classification-type problems, as well as problems that require complex, strategic planning. In this work, we discuss and analyze the role machine and quantum learning are playing in the development of diamond-based quantum technologies. This matters as diamond and its optically addressable spin defects are becoming prime hardware candidates for solid state-based applications in quantum information, computing and metrology. Through a selected number of demonstrations, we show that machine and quantum learning are leading to both practical and fundamental improvements in measurement speed and accuracy. This is crucial for quantum applications, especially for those where coherence time and signal-to-noise ratio are scarce resources. We summarize some of the most prominent machine and quantum learning approaches that have been conducive to the presented advances and discuss their potential, as well as their limits, for proposed and future quantum applications.

Abstract With the advancement of computing power and algorithms, machine learning has been a powerful tool in numerous applications nowadays. However, the hardware limitation of classical computers and the increasing size of datasets urge the community to explore new techniques for machine learning. Quantum‐enhanced machine learning is such a rapidly growing field. It refers to quantum algorithms that are implemented in quantum computers, which can improve the computational speed of classical machine learning tasks and often promises an exponential speedup. In the past few years, the development of experimental quantum technologies leads to many experimental demonstrations of quantum‐enhanced machine learning in diverse physical systems. Here, the recent experimental progress in this field in two typical spin‐based quantum systems—nuclear magnetic resonance and nitrogen‐vacancy centers in diamond—is reviewed, and the ongoing challenges are discussed.

Recently, increased computational power and data availability, as well as algorithmic advances, have led machine learning (ML) techniques to impressive results in regression, classification, data generation and reinforcement learning tasks. Despite these successes, the proximity to the physical limits of chip fabrication alongside the increasing size of datasets is motivating a growing number of researchers to explore the possibility of harnessing the power of quantum computation to speed up classical ML algorithms. Here we review the literature in quantum ML and discuss perspectives for a mixed readership of classical ML and quantum computation experts. Particular emphasis will be placed on clarifying the limitations of quantum algorithms, how they compare with their best classical counterparts and why quantum resources are expected to provide advantages for learning problems. Learning in the presence of noise and certain computationally hard problems in ML are identified as promising directions for the field. Practical questions, such as how to upload classical data into quantum form, will also be addressed.
Encouraged by growing computing power and algorithmic development, machine learning technologies have become powerful tools for a wide variety of application areas, spanning from agriculture to chemistry and natural language processing. The use of quantum systems to process classical data using machine learning algorithms has given rise to an emerging research area, i.e. quantum machine learning. Despite its origins in the processing of classical data, quantum machine learning also explores the use of quantum phenomena for learning systems, the use of quantum computers for learning on quantum data and how machine learning algorithms and software can be formulated and implemented on quantum computers. Quantum machine learning can have a transformational effect on computer science. It may speed up the processing of information well beyond the existing classical speeds. Recent work has seen the development of quantum algorithms that could serve as foundations for machine learning applications. Despite its great promise, there are still significant hardware and software challenges that need to be resolved before quantum machine learning becomes practical. In this paper, we present an overview of quantum machine learning in the light of classical approaches. Departing from foundational concepts of machine learning and quantum computing, we discuss various technical contributions, strengths and similarities of the research work in this domain. We also elaborate upon the recent progress of different quantum machine learning approaches, their complexity, and applications in various fields such as physics, chemistry and natural language processing.
Quantum computing has been a source of hype in the past few years—especially in its application to machine learning (ML) use-cases. This paper compares QML algorithms to traditional ML for a variety of classification problems yielding an overview on potential applications that quantum technologies can either complement or provide superior performance. The paper begins by outlining the fundamental principles of quantum computing required for its application in machine learning. This article will highlight key ideas such as quantum parallelism and the use of quantum interference in n-computing efficiency. The conversation turns to Quantum machine learning Algorithms, in comparison with Classical algorithms without any further ado and specific quantum algorithmic extensions which are available for the problem of machines. These quantum algorithms are analyzed in terms of computational speed and accuracy, leveraging qubits to potentially accelerate learning processes and achieve improved results. Both the prospects and challenges of quantum algorithms for practical ML applications, by combining empirical data with insights from theory. The study also investigates how these limitations of quantum computing today such as qubit coherence, error rates and scalability are likely to impact the practical deployment of QML. In the final sections, the paper discusses next steps and future directions for quantum machine learning with a focus on potential milestones that could lift current obstacles to merge more deeply classical and quantum tools of data analysis. The article provides an in-depth data-driven perspective on the emerging intersection of these two fields with a view towards their potential future impact within quantum machine learning.
Quantum computing has been proven to excel in factorization issues and unordered search problems due to its capability of quantum parallelism. This unique feature allows exponential speed-up in solving certain problems. However, this advantage does not apply universally, and challenges arise when combining classical and quantum computing to achieve acceleration in computation speed. This paper aims to address these challenges by exploring the current state of quantum machine learning and benchmarking the performance of quantum and classical algorithms in terms of accuracy. Specifically, we conducted experiments with three datasets for binary classification, implementing Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Quantum SVM (QSVM) algorithms. Our findings suggest that the QSVM algorithm outperforms classical SVM on complex datasets, and the performance gap between quantum and classical models increases with dataset complexity, as simple models tend to overfit with complex datasets. While there is still a long way to go in terms of developing quantum hardware with sufficient resources, quantum machine learning holds great potential in areas such as unsupervised learning and generative models. Moving forward, more efforts are needed to explore new quantum learning models that can leverage the power of quantum mechanics to overcome the limitations of classical machine learning.
