Abstract

Quantum computing is an emergent technology with great promise to reshape machine learning. It enables computations intractable by any classical system. This paper discusses the basic concepts of quantum computing, its advantages, and their limitations regarding ML. It can be concluded that quantum computers leverage phenomena in quantum mechanics, such as superposition, entanglement, and interference execute those computations that are beyond the capability of classical systems. A few of the most important fancies in QSVM, QPCA, and QNN perform such tasks as computing kernel matrices, high-dimensional data processing, and solving optimization problems in some key points. In contrast, several formidable challenges persist, beginning with the scalability and coherence of qubits as hardware-related issues, and extending to software-centric problems such as data encoding and the efficiency of specific algorithmic applications. This paper also underscores potential future avenues for advancement, including the development of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, quantum error correction techniques, and quantum-native machine learning models, aimed at surmounting these limitations. By addressing these challenges and directing focus towards prospective research, quantum computing holds the promise of unlocking transformative breakthroughs in various domains such as big data processing, drug development, financial modeling, and natural language processing. Such advancements could firmly establish quantum computing as the cornerstone of next-generation artificial intelligence technologies.
