Abstract

Blood glucose is one of the key indicators influencing the body’s metabolic performance. Accurate prediction and proactive management of this parameter are of paramount clinical importance. In this context, the analysis and evaluation of quantum machine learning (QML) algorithms for processing medical data and enhancing the predictive accuracy of health-related models have emerged as cutting-edge research directions in recent studies. Leveraging the principles of quantum physics and computation, QML algorithms serve as a promising alternative to classical methods for predicting chronic diseases. By mapping classical data into a quantum feature space and exploiting intrinsic quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement, these algorithms significantly enhance the ability to detect complex and latent patterns within datasets. In this study, the dataset was first preprocessed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction and noise suppression. Subsequently, the predictive performance of two quantum machine learning models—the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and the Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC)—was evaluated and compared with that of the classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) for blood glucose level prediction. The results indicate that the QSVM model achieves a prediction accuracy of 90%, outperforming the classical SVM, which attained an accuracy of 74.4%. Moreover, the hybrid classical–quantum VQC model demonstrated the highest predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of 94.2%, thereby establishing it as the most effective approach for blood glucose level forecasting in this experimental setting.

Performance Analysis of Quantum and Classical Machine Learning Models for Feature Selection and Classification of the Diabetes Health Indicators Dataset

Sevdanur Genç

The early detection and accurate classification of diabetes health indicators are crucial for effective disease management and prevention. This study aims to compare the performance of classical and quantum machine learning models in feature selection and classification on the Diabetes Health Indicators dataset. Initially, classical machine learning methods were employed to preprocess the data, including normalization and scaling, followed by feature selection using Lasso regression. Various traditional models, such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Naive Bayes, were evaluated. Among these, the Logistic Regression model achieved the highest accuracy at $85 \%$, while other models also demonstrated competitive performance with accuracies ranging from $82 \%$ to $85 \%$. Subsequently, quantum machine learning techniques were applied using the selected features to assess their effectiveness. Quantum circuits were created using Cirq, and parameter optimization was performed through Quantum Feature Mapping and Quantum Feature Transformation. The Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) model attained an accuracy of $84.33 \%$, showing potential for matching the performance of traditional models. The results suggest that quantum machine learning models can offer comparable accuracy to classical methods in the classification of diabetes health indicators. This study highlights the potential benefits of integrating quantum techniques in complex data processing and recommends further exploration in future research to fully harness the capabilities of quantum machine learning.

Comparative Analysis of Quantum Support Vector Machines and Variational Quantum Classifiers for B-cell Epitope Prediction in Vaccine Design

Chi-Chuan Hwang, Cheng-Fang Su, Hong, Yi-Ang

Quantum computing offers new opportunities for addressing complex classification tasks in biomedical applications. This study investigates two quantum machine learning models-the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC)-in the context of B-cell epitope prediction, a key step in modern vaccine design. QSVM builds upon the classical SVM framework by using quantum circuits to encode nonlinear kernel computations, while VQC replaces the entire classification pipeline with trainable quantum circuits optimized variationally. A benchmark dataset from the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) is used for model evaluation. Each epitope is represented by 10 physicochemical features, and dimensionality reduction via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to assess model performance across different feature spaces. We also examine the effect of sample size on prediction outcomes. Experimental results show that QSVM performs well under limited data conditions, while VQC achieves higher accuracy in larger datasets. These findings highlight the potential of quantum-enhanced models for bioinformatics tasks, particularly in supporting efficient and scalable epitope-based vaccine development.

Early Detection of Chronic Diseases Using Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms

N. Deepika, P. RaniAnnapurna, T. Satya Kavyanjali +2 more

Early diagnosis of chronic diseases is paramount to improving patient survival rates, optimizing treatment trajectories, and mitigating escalating healthcare expenditures. While the recent explosion of heterogeneous healthcare data presents robust opportunities for predictive modeling, it simultaneously introduces severe computational bottlenecks regarding data dimensionality and non-linear complexity. This paper proposes a novel, high-performance hybrid prediction framework that seamlessly fuses classical machine learning topologies with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) within a Quantum Machine Learning (QML) paradigm. The proposed architecture targets the multi-classification and risk profiling of five high-prevalence chronic conditions: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, chronic liver disease, and chronic kidney disease This project introduces “Quantum Health,” a Quantum Machine Learning (QML)-based multi disease prediction system that integrates classical and quantum computing to enhance diagnostic performance. It employs five quantum-enhanced models: Quantum Random Forest for breast cancer, Quantum Neural Network for diabetes, Quantum k-Nearest Neighbors (QkNN) for heart disease, Quantum AdaBoost for liver disease, and Quantum Naive Bayes for kidney disease. The models are evaluated using both classical methods and PennyLane simulations, enabling direct comparison of performance. The system is deployed as a Flask-based web application featuring a user-friendly dashboard, disease-specific prediction modules, prediction history with CSV export, and an analytics dashboard comparing classical and quantum accuracies. Each module provides predictions, confidence scores, and feature importance insights. Unlike monolithic classical models, our approach incorporates a parameterized quantum layer that maps low-dimensional classical medical vectors into high-dimensional Hilbert spaces, capturing intricate, non-linear correlations that evade classical kernels. Experimental evaluations executed on simulated quantum backends demonstrate that the proposed Quantum Hybrid Model drastically outperforms conventional baselines, achieving an overall classification accuracy of 96.8% and an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 98.4%. The findings establish that integrating quantum circuit state vectors with ensemble classical architectures provides a scalable, computationally efficient, and highly generalizable paradigm for next-generation clinical decision support systems.

Comparative Study of Classical and Quantum Machine Learning Models: Insights into Quantum Advantage in Materials Informatics

Aris Tri Jaka Harjanta, Hindriyanto Dwi Purnomo, Hendry

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm for addressing increasing computational and representational demands in materials informatics. While classical models such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) achieve strong predictive performance, they often struggle to capture complex, highly correlated interactions in high-dimensional materials data. QML addresses this challenge by leveraging quantum-mechanical principles to construct expressive feature embeddings, where prospective quantum advantage lies in generating feature spaces that are difficult to approximate classically. In this study, 1,000 crystalline compounds from the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) are evaluated in a binary classification task based on formation-energy stability. The dataset is normalized, reduced to four dimensions via Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and encoded into quantum circuits. Three QML models—QSVM, VQC, and QNN—are benchmarked against a classical SVM using repeated stratified evaluation. Results show that the classical SVM achieves the highest accuracy (91.8% ± 0.012), followed by QSVM (60.8% ± 0.035), while VQC and QNN perform significantly worse. This gap is driven by limited qubit capacity, encoding inefficiencies, restricted circuit expressivity, and optimization challenges. Nevertheless, QSVM demonstrates stable performance, suggesting that potential quantum advantage may emerge from improved feature encoding and kernel design rather than deeper variational circuits.
