Quantum machine learning (QML), an emerging discipline with applications in various domains, has the potential to dramatically improve deep learning while reducing model complexity. Quantum computers are well suited for machine learning (ML) tasks, especially because ML models are rapidly growing and require large amounts of data to learn. For example, classical computers that train large language and foundation models typically require supercomputers. If a need exists to double the number of model parameters, one will have to double the size of the supercomputer needed to train it. A quantum computer's parameter or state space grows exponentially with the number of qubits. This means doubling the number of model parameters only requires adding one quantum bit. Another advantage is that quantum computers can use entanglement and interference to potentially learn patterns with less data. Currently, no existing solutions compares the performance of classical and quantum machine learning algorithms for a workflow comprised of multiple ML tasks. This poster presents a QML workspace to explore and verify these QML algorithms with different available quantum frameworks such as Qisklt, CUDA Quantum, and PennyLane in a consistent, reproducible, and theoretically sound way and provide a comparison with similar classical machine learning algorithms.

Abstract - The exponential growth of large-scale data has created significant challenges in storage, processing, and optimization that classical computing systems struggle to address efficiently. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm that integrates quantum computing concepts with machine learning techniques to tackle complex big data optimization problems. By utilizing quantum features such as superposition, entanglement, and parallelism, QML algorithms can accelerate tasks like clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction, which are traditionally computationally demanding. Recent advancements indicate strong potential for quantum-inspired optimization in fields including cybersecurity, financial portfolio management, Industry 4.0, and healthcare analytics. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of QML algorithms designed for big data optimization, examining their advantages, limitations, and application domains. Additionally, it discusses the performance trade-offs associated with hybrid quantum–classical frameworks and highlights future research directions aimed at creating secure, scalable, and resource-efficient quantum solutions for large-scale, data-driven decision-making. As data volumes continue to expand at extremely rapid rates, processing big data with traditional machine learning (ML) techniques has become increasingly challenging. ML models often struggle with issues related to computational power, efficient parameter tuning, accurate model selection, and maintaining high performance when dealing with massive datasets. Deep learning approaches—such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs)—demand substantial computational resources to train on large-scale supervised learning tasks. Moreover, the difficulty of training these networks grows significantly as the size and complexity of the datasets increase. In response to these limitations, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising research domain at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning. Quantum computers operate fundamentally differently from classical systems, using the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and process information. As a result, quantum computational methods have the potential to address certain problems that are computationally intensive or infeasible for classical machines.

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.
