Abstract

This study examines the potential of quantum machine learning (QML) to predict the corrosion inhibition capacity of expired pharmaceutical compounds. The investigation employs a QSPR model, using features generated from density functional theory (DFT) calculations as input. At the same time, corrosion inhibition efficiency (CIE) values obtained from experimental data serve as the target output. The VQC model demonstrates varied performance across evaluation metrics, especially with encoding and ansatz design. The model achieves fine scores in evaluation metrics, with root mean square error (RMSE) of 6.15, mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.63, and mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 5.50. The research underscores the significance of larger datasets for enhancing predictive accuracy and points to QML's potential in exploring anti-corrosion materials. Although there are some limitations, this study provides a foundational framework for using QML to predict anti-corrosive properties.

Optimizing Quantum Neural Networks for Predicting the Effectiveness of Drug Compounds as Corrosion Inhibitors

Lubna Mawaddah, Muhammad Reesa Rosyid, Akbar Priyo Santosa +1 more

Corrosion, caused by electrochemical reactions in corrosive environments, can degrade the quality and lifespan of materials, potentially leading to significant losses in various industrial sectors. One common strategy to reduce corrosion rates is by using corrosion inhibitors. A significant challenge in this field is the time-consuming and costly process of testing new corrosion inhibitors in the laboratory. Consequently, there is a need for more efficient and cost-effective methods to predict the effectiveness of potential corrosion inhibitors using machine learning techniques. This research addresses this problem by applying a quantum machine learning (QML) approach with quantum neural network (QNN) algorithms to evaluate the effectiveness of drug compounds as corrosion inhibitors. The study aims to optimize QNN models by investigating three different quantum circuit configurations to identify the most effective design. The results showed that Model-01, consisting of three layers, demonstrated the best performance with an MSE of 38.81, an RMSE of 6.23, and an MAE of 6.19, along with the shortest training time of 32 seconds, indicating an optimal balance between complexity and generalizability. Overall, this QML approach provides new insights into the predictive ability of QNN models in assessing the effectiveness of drug compounds as corrosion inhibitors, demonstrating the potential of quantum computing to enhance predictive accuracy and efficiency in investigating anti-corrosion materials

Variational quantum algorithm for forecasting drugs for corrosion inhibitor

Muhammad Reesa Rosyid, Muhamad Akrom

This study explores the development and evaluation of a Variational Quantum Algorithm (VQA) for predicting a drug as a corrosion inhibitor, highlighting its advantages over traditional regression models. The VQA leverages quantum-enhanced feature mapping and optimization techniques to capture complex, non-linear relationships within the data. Comparative analysis with AutoRegressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) and Gradient Boosting (GB) models demonstrate the superior performance of VQA across key metrics, including Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). The VQA achieved the lowest RMSE (4.40), MAE (3.33), and MAD (3.17) values, indicating enhanced predictive accuracy and stability. These results underscore the potential of quantum machine learning techniques in advancing predictive modeling capabilities, offering significant improvements in accuracy and consistency over classical methods. The findings suggest that VQA is a promising approach for applications requiring high precision and reliability, paving the way for broader adoption of quantum-enhanced models in material science and beyond.

Hybrid Quantum Neural Network for Predicting Corrosion Inhibition Efficiency of Organic Molecules

Wise Herowati, Muhamad Akrom

Corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE%) prediction plays a central role in the computational discovery of high-performance organic inhibitors. Classical machine learning has shown promising results; however, its performance often deteriorates when learning non-linear interactions between quantum chemical descriptors. Meanwhile, quantum machine learning (QML) provides enhanced expressivity through quantum feature mapping but remains limited by NISQ-era hardware. In this study, we propose a Hybrid Quantum Neural Network (HQNN) integrating classical dense layers with variational quantum circuits (VQC) to predict the inhibition efficiency of organic corrosion inhibitors. Using a curated dataset of 660 molecules with DFT descriptors, the HQNN achieves an RMSE of 3.41 and R² of 0.958, outperforming classical regressors and pure VQC. The results demonstrate that hybrid quantum models offer a balanced trade-off between quantum advantage and practical feasibility in materials informatics.

Harnessing Quantum SVR on Quantum Turing Machine for Drug Compounds Corrosion Inhibitors Analysis

Corrosion is an issue that has a significant impact on the oil and gas industry, resulting in significant losses. This is worth investigating because corrosion contributes to a large part of the total annual costs of oil and gas production companies worldwide, and can cause serious problems for the environment that will impact society. The use of inhibitors is one way to prevent corrosion that is quite effective. This study is an experimental study that aims to implement machine learning (ML) on the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. In this study, the use of the Quantum Support Vector Regression (QSVR) algorithm in the ML approach is used considering the increasingly developing quantum computing technology with the aim of producing better evaluation matrix values ​​than the classical ML algorithm. From the experiments carried out, it was found that the QSVR algorithm with a combination of (TrainableFidelityQuantumKernel, ZZFeatureMap/ PauliFeatureMap, and linear entanglement) obtained better Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and model training time with a value of 6,19 and 92 compared to other models in this experiment which can be considered in predicting the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. The success of the research model can provide a new insights of the ability of quantum computer algorithms to increase the evaluation value of the matrix and the ability of ML to predict the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors, especially on a large industrial scale.

Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms for Drug Discovery and Molecular Property Prediction

Dr.H. Shaheen

Quantum machine learning (QML) has been demonstrated to have great potential in revolutionizing the process of drug discovery by dealing with the problem of high computational complexity of molecular simulations. Conventional computational techniques are not very effective in predicting the properties of molecules and pharmaceutical activity because the simulation of large molecules is too complex. This paper will discuss how QML algorithms can be used, specifically variational quantum circuits and quantum kernel methods, to improve the predictability of molecular properties and accelerate the process of drug discovery. To enhance the prediction accuracy, the research use quantum-enhanced feature extraction together with classical machine learning technologies. Research methodology is applied to datasets of molecular structure and biological activity in order to provide a more useful model to learn about how molecular features relate to biological outcomes using quantum machine learning models. These results suggest that it is 15 % more accurate in prediction and 20 % faster in computing high-dimensional molecular simulations compared to standard machine learning algorithms. The efficiency of the QML-based method is statistically proven with an accuracy 89%, precision 87%, and an F1-score of 0.91. The results point to the possible ability of QML to decrease the time and computational resources spent on the exploration of drug discovery, providing a new direction for the improvement of molecular property prediction. The study is a contribution to the emerging area of QML in pharmaceutical use and demonstrates that it can simplify drug discovery and enhance the accuracy with which predictions are made. The paper demonstrates that QML may produce a significant impact on the drug development process by simulating the molecular properties faster, more effectively, and more accurately.
