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.

Quantum machine learning (QML) has emerged as a promising field, combining the power of quantum computing with classical machine learning techniques to solve complex computational tasks. As the demand for efficient quantum simulations grows, multiple QML frameworks, including PennyLane, Qiskit, and TensorFlow Quantum (TFQ), have been developed to facilitate hybrid quantum-classical computations. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of three leading QML frameworks PennyLane, Qiskit, and TensorFlow Quantum in simulating quantum machine learning models, focusing on accuracy, execution time, and noise tolerance. The study examined three leading quantum machine learning (QML) frameworks PennyLane (v0.24), Qiskit (v0.43.2), and TensorFlow Quantum (TFQ, v0.7) each tested on a 64-bit Ubuntu Linux system with an Intel Core i7 processor, 32 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. Quantum algorithms like variational quantum circuits (VQCs) and quantum support vector machines (QSVMs) were simulated using these frameworks. Various quantum gates, including Pauli-X, Y, Z, Hadamard, CNOT, and Rotation gates (Rx, Ry, Rz), were used for parameter optimization and quantum superposition. The Iris and MNIST datasets were adapted for quantum encoding using Amplitude and Angle Encoding for binary classification tasks. Simulations were run on classical computers, while select circuits were executed on IBM Quantum’s Falcon r5.11 processor to compare hardware performance. PennyLane achieved the highest accuracy (92%) in quantum simulations, excelling in hybrid quantum-classical model integration. TensorFlow Quantum provided the fastest execution time, especially in classical simulations, making it suitable for rapid prototyping. Qiskit produced deeper quantum circuits but had higher error rates (6%) on real quantum hardware, highlighting noise and decoherence effects. The VQC models optimized by stochastic gradient descent (SGD) showed significant improvements in model performance, and QSVMs effectively classified both linearly separable and non-separable datasets, demonstrating the potential of quantum algorithms over classical approaches. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of the results (p < 0.05). PennyLane is the most robust framework for hybrid quantum-classical models, while TensorFlow Quantum is suited for rapid prototyping. Qiskit, despite longer execution times, excels in hardware implementation. The choice of framework should align with the specific needs of quantum machine learning tasks.
