With the advancement of quantum computing in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms have emerged as promising approaches for addressing certain machine learning tasks. This study investigates the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC), a hybrid model that integrates parameterized quantum circuits with classical optimization routines, implemented via IBM’s Qiskit framework. We provide a detailed account of the VQC architecture, including feature encoding, ansatz construction, and optimization methodology. To assess its performance, we conduct a comparative analysis between VQC and classical Support Vector Classifiers (SVC) across synthetic and real-world datasets, including Iris and a binary-filtered version of MNIST. Experimental results reveal that classical models consistently achieve higher accuracy and faster training times. However, the VQC demonstrates functional viability, particularly under noise-free conditions and reduced-dimensionality settings. These findings underscore the current limitations of quantum models while highlighting the potential of VQC as a proof-of-concept for quantum-enhanced learning as quantum hardware matures.
Machine learning (ML) is often listed among the most potential applications for quantum computing. This is in reality a puzzling choice: Nowadays machine learning algorithms are extremely powerful in practice, but still theoretically challenging to understand. Quantum computing, in contrast, does not give actual benchmarks on practical scales. However, theory remains the main tool we have to determine if it may become important for a task. Although it is far from reaching its full potential, nevertheless, it presents several techniques to efficiently deal with the problem which are tough to solve traditionally. In this perspective we deploy the Quanvolutional Neural Networks (QNNs) on a quantum computer to recognize handwritten digits, and compare its performance with that of its classical counterpart namely the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We used a quanvolutional layer to separate the pixel data and demonstrate the advantage of applying QNN on a quantum computer. Finally, we implement the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) and several classical classifiers built on the Iris dataset, in order to compare their accuracies. We employed amplitude encoding to map data into the large Hilbert space of a quantum computer. The results revealed that the QNN model and VQC had high accuracy and low loss value compared to their purely classical counterparts.
Quantum computing offers a powerful new paradigm for enhancing classical machine learning, particularly in classification tasks. In this paper, we examine the use of quantum kernels within Support Vector Classification (SVC) and compare their performance to classical SVC. Our experiments focus on the Iris and Wine datasets. For the Wine dataset, we applied Principal Component Analysis (PCA), reducing the feature space from 13 to 4 dimensions to improve computational efficiency. The results demonstrate that Quantum-enhanced SVC (QSVC) outperforms classical SVC, achieving an accuracy improvement from 96.15% with classical SVM to 98.05% with QSVC for the Wine dataset. Similarly, for the Iris dataset, classical SVC achieves near-perfect accuracy at 100%, while QSVC closely follows with 97.25% accuracy. These results highlight the capability of quantum kernels to improve both accuracy and efficiency in classification tasks, providing a promising direction for scalable quantum-classical hybrid systems in machine learning.
Despite its undeniable success, classical machine learning remains a resource-intensive process. Practical computational efforts for training state-of-the-art models can now only be handled by high speed computer hardware. As this trend is expected to continue, it should come as no surprise that an increasing number of machine learning researchers are investigating the possible advantages of quantum computing. The scientific literature on Quantum Machine Learning is now enormous, and a review of its current state that can be comprehended without a physics background is necessary. The objective of this study is to present a review of Quantum Machine Learning from the perspective of conventional techniques. Departing from giving a research path from fundamental quantum theory through Quantum Machine Learning algorithms from a computer scientist's perspective, we discuss a set of basic algorithms for Quantum Machine Learning, which are the fundamental components for Quantum Machine Learning algorithms. We implement the Quanvolutional Neural Networks (QNNs) on a quantum computer to recognize handwritten digits, and compare its performance to that of its classical counterpart, the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Additionally, we implement the QSVM on the breast cancer dataset and compare it to the classical SVM. Finally, we implement the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) and many classical classifiers on the Iris dataset to compare their accuracies.
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is a newly emerging research area at the intersection of classical machine learning (CML) and quantum computing (QC). Data is becoming voluminous rapidly, so it is challenging for classical computers to train Machine Learning (ML) models over massive datasets. The hope is that quantum physics' intrinsic features, such as entanglement, superposition, and interference, could be exploited as resources for training ML models on big datasets that would otherwise be relatively impossible for classical computers. It is theoretically proven that quantum computers have an exponential-time advantage over their classical counterparts in solving several problems, e.g., complex large dimensional matrix multiplication, factorization problem, unstructured database search, etc. QML models attempt to find a quantum advantage over their classical counterparts. Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) are hybrid quantum neural networks to perform the task of classification using QML models. VQC models in the present NISQ (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum — 50 to 100 qubits) era can produce comparable and even better results than Classical models. In this article, we examined the performance of a VQC while performing a simple binary classification task. In this article, we use a VQC to evaluate this method's performance empirically. We constructed a VQC to predict the label of fresh input for the typical Iris dataset comprising pairings of target outputs and training inputs. Our quantum classifier can reasonably predict species labels using only four qubits. These levels are fairly good compared to the accuracy levels attained by classical classifiers.
This research explores the integration of classical and quantum machine learning (QML) for classification tasks, focusing on applications in Thailand. We evaluate QML algorithms, including Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC), Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC), and Quantum Neural Network (QNN), against the classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) using the Iris and Wine datasets on IBM's Qiskit platform. Our analysis highlights the trade-offs between accuracy and preprocessing time for quantum encoding, noting that while some QML algorithms achieve high accuracy, their preprocessing times are significantly longer than those of classical SVM. This underscores current limitations in QML for practical classification tasks. However, the study also identifies future opportunities for QML applications in sectors like healthcare, materials science, logistics, and financial modeling in Thailand. This research contributes to the field by providing a comparative analysis of QML and classical algorithms, revealing that QML, despite its high accuracy, is often hindered by lengthy preprocessing. It also emphasizes QML's potential to address specific technological challenges in Thailand.
