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 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 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.
Quantum machine learning (QML) is a cross-disciplinary subject made up of two of the most exciting research areas: quantum computing and classical machine learning (ML), with ML and artificial intelligence (AI) being projected as the first fields that will be impacted by the rise of quantum machines. Quantum computers are being used today in drug discovery, material & molecular modelling and finance. In this work, we explore emerging research areas in the application of hybrid classical quantum machine learning (QML) in finance. We focus on hybrid classical-quantum models that have gained significant interest in the financial world for various applications. We utilise a real-world cryptocurrency dataset to train a quantum generative adversarial networks (qGAN), and implement the real-life NVIDIA stock price data on quantum LSTM (QLSTM), comparing its performance with classical Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model. Additionally, we investigate the application of quantum circuit Born machine (QCBM) using a toy dataset for applications in finance. For the qGAN, we define quantum circuits for generators and showcase the potential for future quantum advantage in finance through QML, possibly in combination with QLSTM and QCBM. Our findings suggest that, while training classical data is more efficient on LSTM, the test predictions of QLSTM is slightly superior to its classical counterpart making it a promising candidate for financial forecasting and analysis for timeseries type data.
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 .
