Energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors are essential for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems, yet their long-term reliability is limited by capacity degradation. Accurate prediction of state-of-health (SOH), state-of-charge (SOC), and capacity retention are therefore critical for extending device lifetimes and improving safety. Classical machine learning (ML) methods including LSTMs, CNNs, and ensemble approaches have achieved success in forecasting degradation trends, but they face limitations in scalability, data requirements, and capturing complex electrochemical behaviors. Quantum computing, and in particular quantum machine learning (QML), offers new opportunities by exploiting superposition and entanglement to process information more efficiently and compactly. This review surveys recent advances in applying QML to energy storage, with a focus on CQ approaches (classical data–quantum processing), distinguishing Hybrid-CQ architectures. Comparative analyses highlight trade-offs: CQ and Hybrid-CQ models achieve higher accuracy and parameter efficiency but are constrained by noise, limited qubits, and slower runtimes on real devices. Looking forward, integrating error-mitigation strategies, benchmarking on actual quantum hardware, and embedding physics-informed modeling are critical to closing the gap between theoretical promise and practical deployment. Beyond prediction tasks, quantum approaches hold potential for dynamic charging optimization, materials discovery, and quantum battery concepts. Collectively, these developments underscore how QML can complement and eventually surpass classical ML, paving the way toward more accurate, sustainable, and efficient energy storage systems.

Accurate prediction of the State of Health (SoH) in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is critical for increasing Electric Vehicles (EV) performance and lifespan. However, capturing complex patterns remains challenging as traditional Machine Learning (ML) models struggle with non-linear and high-dimensional data. We propose a Variational Quantum Neural Network (VQNN) model that uses the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, entanglement, and parallelism, to predict SoH. QML applications in EVs are scarce, and VQNN addresses this gap by applying quantum computing in battery SoH prediction. Our VQNN model achieves a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.0346 on the NASA B0005 and B0006 battery datasets, outperforming the LSTM model by 0.0017. However, the VQNN requires a longer training time of 8021.81 s compared to the Neural Network (NN) at 4.45 s and the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) at 9.46 s. We demonstrate that Quantum Machine Learning (QML) can be used to capture complex degradation patterns, paving the way for quantum-driven Battery Management Systems (BMS) in connected EVs. Our findings suggest that despite the computational overheads, advancements in quantum hardware could enable real-time SoH prediction, enhancing EV reliability in the transport ecosystem.
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 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.
