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).

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 transformative paradigm that integrates the computational advantages of quantum computing with the adaptive intelligence of machine learning to solve complex optimization problems in smart computing systems. Traditional optimization techniques often struggle with high-dimensional search spaces, combinatorial complexity, computational overhead, and scalability limitations in applications such as intelligent transportation, healthcare analytics, smart manufacturing, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures. QML approaches exploit quantum superposition, entanglement, and quantum parallelism to accelerate optimization tasks and enhance predictive performance beyond classical machine learning capabilities. This research proposes a hybrid Quantum Machine Learning optimization framework that combines Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs), Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), and classical deep learning models to address resource allocation, task scheduling, energy optimization, and intelligent decision-making in smart computing environments. The proposed framework integrates quantum-enhanced feature extraction, adaptive optimization layers, and reinforcement-based learning mechanisms to improve convergence speed and computational efficiency. Experimental analysis is performed using benchmark optimization datasets and simulated quantum environments to evaluate accuracy, execution time, energy efficiency, and scalability. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed QML-based framework achieves superior optimization accuracy, reduced computational latency, and improved resource utilization when compared with traditional machine learning and classical metaheuristic optimization methods. Furthermore, the study highlights the practical significance of hybrid quantum-classical architectures in next-generation intelligent systems where large-scale optimization and real-time decision support are critical. The findings suggest that QML can significantly contribute to the advancement of sustainable, adaptive, and high-performance smart computing ecosystems while opening new directions for future quantum-aware intelligent infrastructures.
As the limits of classical machine learning (ML) become increasingly evident—especially in terms of computational scalability and data processing—quantum computing emerges as a promising frontier capable of addressing these challenges. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) represents the intersection of quantum computing and traditional ML, aiming to leverage quantum phenomena such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum parallelism to enhance learning capabilities, accelerate training, and solve complex problems that are intractable for classical algorithms. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving field of QML, beginning with the theoretical foundations of quantum computing and its synergy with classical machine learning principles. We explore key QML algorithms, including quantum support vector machines (QSVM), variational quantum classifiers (VQC), quantum neural networks (QNN), and hybrid quantum-classical approaches that exemplify the practical integration of both paradigms. We further examine real-world applications of QML across domains such as drug discovery, finance, climate modeling, and optimization, where quantum enhancements have begun to show early but promising results. Despite its theoretical potential, QML faces substantial limitations, including quantum hardware instability, limited qubit scalability, noise sensitivity, and unresolved challenges in quantum data encoding and interpretability. In synthesizing recent advancements and persistent obstacles, this paper highlights the importance of continued interdisciplinary research, algorithmic refinement, and hardware evolution. We also outline future directions that could lead QML from experimental promise to practical utility, including developments in quantum error correction, benchmarking standards, and application-specific quantum architectures

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that harnesses the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize classical machine learning paradigms. This paper presents a benchmarking study focused on four quantum classifier algorithms: Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC), Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC), Quantum Neural Network Classifier (QNNC) and Pegasos Quantum Support Vector Classifier (PegasosQSVC). These quantum classifiers hold promise for unlocking quantum advantages in classification tasks. However, a systematic assessment of their performance across diverse datasets is yet to be fully explored. In this research study, we evaluate and compare the classification performance of quantum machine learning classifiers on various datasets (Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and Titanic) and compare them to a classical model. Our findings revealed that PegasosQSVC consistently maintained high performance across all datasets with the highest average accuracy, recall, and F1-score values of 0.81, 0.72, and 0.71, respectively, followed by VQC, followed by VQC, while QSVC and QNNC perform variably. Nevertheless, QSVC was found to balance performance and training time, achieving an average accuracy of 0.81 and a training time of 177 seconds. Overall, the classical model surpassed QML models as it was up to 10% higher in average accuracy.
A potential path forward is Quantum Machine Learning (QML), which aims to leverage quantum computing in conjunction with classical machine learning to enhance computing efficiency and the expressiveness of models. In this paper, two different quantum classifiers - Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) and Quantum Kernel Support Vector Machine (QSVM) - are compared with three classical classifiers as baseline classifiers - Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) - on the Breast Cancer Wisconsin dataset. The quantum circuits were created in the PennyLane framework and simulated on a classical backend. However, in terms of accuracy, classical Logistic Regression performed better with an accuracy of 97.8%, classical SVM and QSVM with an accuracy of 95.6% each, although the Quantum VQC achieved a lower accuracy of 88.9% and had a recall of 100% for the benign class, though it correctly identified only 12 of the 17 malignant cases (a malignant-class recall of approximately 70.6%). The drawback of quantum models is the higher training time; however, since the quantum circuit needs to be classically simulated, the quantum SVM took 23.29 seconds compared to less than 0.01 seconds for the classical linear models. These results indicate that for small structured datasets, classifiers based on quantum computing have not yet surpassed well-tuned classical counterparts. In some respects (e.g., benign-class recall), they perform competitively, though not on malignant-class recall, where the VQC in particular performed worse than the classical baselines, which is worth further investigation on real quantum computers.
