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.
