Traditional clustering algorithms, such as k-means and DBSCAN, often face significant challenges when applied to big data. The computational complexity associated with distance calculations and nearest neighbor searches scales poorly with dataset size, limiting their effectiveness. This paper proposes a novel approach to clustering inspired by quantum measurement theory, specifically quantum-inspired nearest neighbor search. We leverage concepts from quantum mechanics, such as superposition and measurement, to design clustering algorithms that can efficiently identify clusters within high-dimensional datasets. The core idea is to treat the clustering problem as a measurement process, where candidate cluster centers are repeatedly measured against data points, and the most likely cluster centers are selected. The resulting algorithms aim to provide scalability improvements over conventional methods, particularly for datasets with a large number of features and data points.

This paper introduces a novel clustering approach termed Quantum-Inspired Clustering (QIC) leveraging concepts derived from quantum mechanics, specifically entanglement, to enhance feature representation and cluster discovery. Traditional clustering algorithms often face challenges when dealing with high-dimensional data and intricate feature dependencies. QIC addresses this by encoding features into entangled states, allowing the algorithm to capture and exploit correlated relationships within the data that are typically overlooked by conventional methods. The core mechanism relies on identifying clusters based on the shared information encoded within these entangled representations. The resulting algorithm demonstrates the potential to improve clustering performance, particularly in scenarios with complex datasets where linear separation is difficult or non-existent. We present a formal description of the algorithm, including the feature encoding process and the clustering objective function. The performance of the proposed method is discussed, highlighting its advantages and potential limitations.
The curse of dimensionality in high-dimensional optimization: It is inherently seen that the dimensionality of feature space presents a fundamental challenge to high-dimensional optimization: as dimensionality increases, feature space becomes computationally inefficient, overfitted and model interpretability declines, thus requiring highly robust sparsity-based solutions. To find a solution to these problems, a new quantum-inspired framework of sparse optimization is proposed in this study, which combines probabilistic Q-bit representation and L1-regularized optimization to efficiently consider large solution spaces but with a sparsity constraint. The suggested method builds on quantum-inspired search algorithms such as initiation by superposition and rotation gate updates to the search to improved exploration and exploitation ratio, leading to a better convergence process. Experimental analyses show that the framework produces better optimization accuracy, indicated by much lower Mean Squared Error (MSE) and convergence rates than classical and met heuristic baselines, with the framework also having a higher level of sparsity in the solution space. These results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed method in handling high-dimensional problems, making it particularly suitable for applications in signal processing, machine learning-based feature selection, and large-scale scientific computing tasks.
