Machine learning (ML) has emerged into formidable force for identifying hidden but pertinent patterns within a given data set with the objective of subsequent generation of automated predictive behavior. In the recent years, it is safe to conclude that ML and its close cousin deep learning (DL) have ushered unprecedented developments in all areas of physical sciences especially chemistry. Not only the classical variants of ML , even those trainable on near-term quantum hardwares have been developed with promising outcomes. Such algorithms have revolutionzed material design and performance of photo-voltaics, electronic structure calculations of ground and excited states of correlated matter, computation of force-fields and potential energy surfaces informing chemical reaction dynamics, reactivity inspired rational strategies of drug designing and even classification of phases of matter with accurate identification of emergent criticality. In this review we shall explicate a subset of such topics and delineate the contributions made by both classical and quantum computing enhanced machine learning algorithms over the past few years. We shall not only present a brief overview of the well-known techniques but also highlight their learning strategies using statistical physical insight. The objective of the review is to not only to foster exposition to the aforesaid techniques but also to empower and promote cross-pollination among future-research in all areas of chemistry which can benefit from ML and in turn can potentially accelerate the growth of such algorithms.

Quantum computing plays a significant role in simulating molecules and atoms and offers advantages in chemistry over classical computing. The potential of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) can be used in drug discovery, chemical reaction simulations, and Material design for pharmaceuticals. QML leverages quantum computing and advanced machine learning to accelerate the identification of drug candidates, predict molecular interactions, and optimize compounds. In this paper, we present a systematic review of the methods used for molecular property prediction and molecular generation using quantum machine learning. We have included the recent research, perspective, advantages, and challenges that must be addressed to achieve this task. The objective of this research is not only to discuss current strategies and methods used for drug discovery but also to promote interdisciplinary research in the field of quantum computing and chemistry for wellness.

In this Perspective, we overview the status of how theory and computation can be exploited to obtain chemical understanding from wave function theory and density functional theory, and then outlook the likely impact of machine learning (ML) and quantum computers (QC) to appreciate traditional chemical concepts in decades to come. It is maintained that the development and maturation of ML and QC methods in theoretical and computational chemistry represent two paradigm shifts about how the Schrödinger equation can be solved. New chemical understanding can be harnessed in these two new paradigms by making respective use of ML features and QC qubits. Before that happens, however, we still have hurdles to face and obstacles to overcome in both ML and QC arenas. Possible pathways to tackle these challenges are proposed. We anticipate that hierarchical modeling, in contrast to multiscale modeling, will emerge and thrive, becoming the workhorse of in silico simulations in the next few decades.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines the principles of quantum mechanics and machine learning to develop algorithms that can potentially outperform classical algorithms in certain tasks. QML leverages the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superposition and entanglement, to process information in ways that are not possible with classical computers. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of QML, including its principles, algorithms, and applications. We focus particularly on supervised learning methods, which involve training a quantum model on labeled data to make predictions on new, unseen data. We discuss the potential of QML to revolutionize various domains, such as finance, chemistry, and materials science, and highlight the challenges associated with the development and implementation of QML algorithms, including the need for more advanced quantum hardware and software. This paper aims to provide a clear understanding of the current state of QML research and its potential impact on future computational capabilities.
