A significant amount of interest has been generated in recent years in the convergence of quantum computing and data mining due to quantum algorithms' potential to revolutionize information extraction from vast datasets, as well as their ability to utilize quantum principles and natural capabilities to perform far more efficiently and efficiently than classic algorithms. We provide a comprehensive and detailed review of the current state of quantum computing algorithms in the field of data mining and machine learning, highlighting key developments, challenges, and their implementation. In particular, machine learning can benefit from QC mechanics like superposition and entanglement due to the use of q-bits as well as other superior advantages provided by quantum computing, such as Grover algorithm. It is important to note that classic machine learning models differ in terms of the types of learning, prediction models, and operating on data as well as performance over time, along with their counterparts, such as supervised and unsupervised models, which are naturally more sophisticated. Our review will also discuss how integrating and merging the two fields of machine learning and quantum computing, and their mechanics, will affect the aspect of time and resource

[EN] In a world in which accessible information grows exponentially, the selection of the appropriate information turns out to be an extremely relevant problem. In this context, the idea of Machine Learning (ML), a subfield of Artificial Intelligence, emerged to face problems in data mining, pattern recognition, automatic prediction, among others. Quantum Machine Learning is an interdisciplinary research area combining quantum mechanics with methods of ML, in which quantum properties allow for an exponential speed-up in the algorithms. This field is currently one of the main research areas in companies like Google and Microsoft, due to the revolution that they could provide in data management.

Quantum machine learning unites two of the most contentious subfields in science: quantum computing and classical machine learning. Quantum machine learning is the study of how to solve machine learning problems using insights from quantum mechanics. As more and more information accumulates, the capacity of existing computing machines to successfully train it onto a conventional computation model is stretched to its limits. Quantum computing could be helpful for continuous training with large datasets. When developing learning algorithms, quantum machine learning aims to do so much more quickly than traditional methods. Finding patterns in data and using those patterns to predict the future is at the heart of traditional machine learning. The data can be mined for insights like these. Quantum systems, on either extreme, generate unusual patterns those conventional systems cannot, implying that quantum computers might be able to outpace traditional CPUs in ML tasks. This chapter discusses the past research on quantum machine learning and an update on its current state.
