Advances in Quantum Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Image Classification: A Survey

Quantum computing technology holds substantial promise as a reliable computational paradigm. However, current noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) systems, are significantly impacted by noise originating from hardware inconsistencies. This noise causes errors and lowers output fidelity. So we must find which basis states cause errors. However, there are two main challenges in analyzing noise corresponding to basis states. First, the noise distribution data is high dimensional in nature, thereby making its analysis challenging. Second, although functional box plots have been used in the state of the art research to understand such a high dimensional data, they suffer from clutter and occlusion issues because of overplotting. In this study, we introduce an innovative visualization pipeline to address the aforementioned challenges to provide a clear depiction of noisy and less-noisy basis states. Specifically, our proposed visualization pipeline comprises three stages namely, low dimensional embedding, clustering, and violin plot visualization, to reduce visual clutter and effectively analyze high-dimensional noise distribution data. Our analysis uses quantum machine learning (QML) circuits as case study for drawing a distinction between noisy and less noisy basis states.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is an emerging field at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning, aiming to enhance classical machine learning methods by leveraging quantum mechanics principles such as entanglement and superposition. However, skepticism persists regarding the practical advantages of QML, mainly due to the current limitations of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. This study addresses these concerns by extensively assessing Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs)-quantum-inspired counterparts of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), demonstrating their effectiveness compared to classical methods. We systematically construct and evaluate twelve distinct QNN configurations, utilizing two unique quantum feature maps combined with six different entanglement strategies for ansatz design. Experiments conducted on a wind energy dataset reveal that QNNs employing the $\mathbf{Z}$ feature map achieve up to $93 \%$ prediction accuracy when forecasting wind power output using only four input parameters. Our findings show that QNNs outperform classical methods in predictive tasks, underscoring the potential of QML in real-world applications.

Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) plays a pivotal role in accelerating quantum algorithms, especially in quantum machine learning. However, its implementation on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers faces major challenges due to high qubit requirements and large circuit depth. These factors amplify quantum noise, limiting QRAM performance and scalability. In this work, we introduce a gate-pruning strategy that mitigates noise while preserving QRAM functionality. Our approach reduces circuit depth by eliminating small-angle rotation gates which are particularly noise-sensitive on NISQ hardware. This pruning significantly improves QRAM resilience without compromising data-loading efficiency or superposition-based querying. We further show that the pruned QRAM supports a variational quantum classifier capable of parallel training with logarithmic qubit scaling. Experiments on benchmark datasets confirm that our approach enhances noise resilience and classification accuracy, underscoring its potential for practical quantum machine learning in the NISQ era.

Quantum machine learning (QML) is an emerging field that promises advantages such as faster training, improved reliability and superior feature extraction over classical counterparts. However, its implementation on quantum hardware is challenging due to the noise inherent in these systems, necessitating the use of quantum error correction (QEC) codes. Current QML research remains primarily theoretical, often assuming noise-free environments and offering little insight into the integration of QEC with QML implementations. To address this, we investigate the performance of a simple, parity-classifying Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC) implemented with the [[4,2,2]] error-detecting stabiliser code in a simulated noisy environment. To our knowledge, this is the first implementation of a stabiliser-based error detection code to a QML algorithm. We invoke ancilla qubits to logically encode rotation gates, and classically simulate the logically-encoded VQC under two simple noise models representing gate noise and environmental noise. We demonstrate that the stabiliser code improves the training accuracy at convergence compared to noisy implementations without error detection. However, we find that the effectiveness and reliability of error detection is contingent upon keeping the ancilla qubit error rates below a specific threshold, due to the propagation of ancilla errors to the physical qubits. Our results provide an important insight that extends to QML implemented with full error-correction: when the QEC code requires ancilla qubits for logical rotations but cannot fully correct errors propagated between ancilla and physical qubits, the maximum achievable accuracy of the QML model is constrained. This highlights the need for additional error correction or mitigation strategies to support the practical implementation of QML algorithms with QEC on quantum devices.

Compiling high-level quantum programs to machines that are size constrained (i.e. limited number of quantum bits) and time constrained (i.e. limited number of quantum operations) is challenging. In this paper, we present SQUARE (Strategic QUantum Ancilla REuse), a compilation infrastructure that tackles allocation and reclamation of scratch qubits (called ancilla) in modular quantum programs. At its core, SQUARE strategically performs uncomputation to create opportunities for qubit reuse. Current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers and forward-looking Fault-Tolerant (FT) quantum computers have fundamentally different constraints such as data locality, instruction parallelism, and communication overhead. Our heuristic-based ancilla-reuse algorithm balances these considerations and fits computations into resource-constrained NISQ or FT quantum machines, throttling parallelism when necessary. To precisely capture the workload of a program, we propose an improved metric, the "active quantum volume," and use this metric to evaluate the effectiveness of our algorithm. Furthermore, our results show that SQUARE improves the average success rate of NISQ applications by 1.47X. Surprisingly, the additional gates for uncomputation create ancilla with better locality, and result in substantially fewer swap gates and less gate noise overall. SQUARE also achieves an average reduction of 1.5X (and up to 9.6X) in active quantum volume for FT machines.

Quantum kernel methods have been widely recognized as one of the promising quantum machine learning (QML) algorithms that have the potential to achieve quantum advantages. However, their capabilities may be severely degraded by inevitable noises in the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. In this article, we theoretically characterize the power of noisy quantum kernels and demonstrate that under depolarizing noise, quantum kernel methods may only have very poor prediction capability, even when the generalization error is small. Specifically, we quantitatively describe the decreasing of the prediction capability of noisy quantum kernels in terms of the rate of quantum noise, the size of training samples, the number of qubits, and the number of layers affected by quantum noises. Our results clearly demonstrate that for a given number of training samples, once the number of layers affected by noise exceeds some threshold, the prediction capability of noisy kernels is very poor. Thus, we provide a crucial warning to employ noisy quantum kernel methods for quantum computation and the theoretical results can also serve as guidelines when developing practical quantum kernel algorithms for achieving quantum advantages.

In this work, we studied the use of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) algorithms for binary classification and compared their performance with classical Machine Learning (ML) methods. QML merges principles of Quantum Computing (QC) and ML, offering improved efficiency and potential quantum advantage in data-driven tasks and when solving complex problems. In binary classification, where the goal is to assign data to one of two categories, QML uses quantum algorithms to process large datasets efficiently. Quantum algorithms like Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) exploit quantum parallelism and entanglement to enhance performance over classical methods. This study focuses on two common QML algorithms, Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) and QNN. We used the Qiskit software and conducted the experiments with three different datasets. Data preprocessing included dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and standardization using scalers. The results showed that quantum algorithms demonstrated competitive performance against their classical counterparts in terms of accuracy, while QSVC performed better than QNN. These findings suggest that QML holds potential for improving computational efficiency in binary classification tasks. This opens the way for more efficient and scalable solutions in complex classification challenges and shows the complementary role of quantum computing.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates quantum computing with classical machine learning techniques to enhance computational efficiency and solve complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical systems. This paper explores fundamental QML algorithms, including quantum-enhanced data processing, quantum neural networks, and quantum support vector machines. We discuss how quantum speedup can be achieved through quantum parallelism and entanglement, leading to improvements in optimization and data classification tasks. Additionally, we highlight applications of QML in areas such as drug discovery, financial modeling, and cryptography. While current quantum hardware imposes limitations, ongoing advancements in quantum algorithms and error correction techniques suggest a promising future for QML. We conclude with a discussion on the challenges and future directions in the field, emphasizing the need for hybrid quantum-classical approaches and scalable quantum hardware.

The astounding acceleration in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing advances naturally gives rise to a line of research, which unrolls the potential advantages of quantum computing on classical Machine Learning tasks, known as Quantum Machine Learning or Quantum Machine Intelligence. The typical objectives are either (1) exploring the potential quantum advantages on classical learning tasks or (2) levering well-established classical ML algorithms to tackle quantum-related problems on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. Along the second research direction, we study Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) to accomplish the purpose of Bayesian learning. By observing a wide range of studies on QNNs, in which the sole training method is based on frequentist training, we find that Bayesian learning benefits QNNs from two aspects. First, Bayesian-trained models enjoy a high level of generalization due to the prior and posterior distribution usage compared to frequentist training, which will be justified by this paper’s theoretical study of model capacity. Second, Bayesian Inference offers epistemic uncertainty estimation, which merits the decision-making process. It is worth mentioning that frequentist-trained QNNs generally lack this desirable property. Under the Bayesian training procedure, our derived models can be considered a new class of QNNs (called BayesianQNNs) which possesses both desirable properties of Bayesian Inference while maintaining comparable predictive performance as frequentist counterparts. The proposed Bayesian Quantum Neural Networks is justified by empirical evidence from numerical experiments.

In the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)era, quantum machine learning is emerging as a dominant paradigm to program gate-based quantum computers. In quantum machine learning, the gates of a quantum circuit are parameterized, and the parameters are tuned via classical optimization based on data and on measurements of the outputs of the circuit. Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) can efficiently address combinatorial optimization problems, implement probabilistic generative models, and carry out inference (classification and regression). This monograph provides a self-contained introduction to quantum machine learning for an audience of engineers with a back groundin probability and linear algebra. It first describes the necessary background, concepts, and tools necessary to describe quantum operations and measurements. Then,it covers parameterized quantum circuits, the variation alquantum eigensolver, as well as unsupervised and supervised quantum machine learning formulations.

Recent advances in quantum computing and machine learning have brought about a promising intersection of these two fields, leading to the emergence of quantum machine learning (QML). However, the integration of quantum computing and machine learning poses several challenges. One of the prominent challenges lies in the presence of barren plateaus (BP) in QML algorithms, particularly in quantum neural networks (QNNs). Recent studies have successfully identified the fundamental causes underlying the existence of BP in QNNs. This paper presents a framework designed to explore the interplay of multiple factors contributing to the BP problem in quantum neural networks (QNNs), which poses a critical challenge for the practical applications of QML. We focus on the combined influence of data encoding, qubit entanglement, and ansatz expressibility in hybrid quantum neural networks (HQNNs) for multi-class classification tasks. Our framework aims to empirically analyze the joint impact of these factors on the training landscape of HQNNs. Our results show that the occurrence of the BP problem in HQNNs is contingent upon the expressibility of the underlying ansatz and the type of the adopted data encoding technique. Additionally, we observe that qubit entanglement also plays a role in exacerbating the BP problem. Leveraging various evaluation metrics for classification tasks, we systematically evaluate the performance of HQNNs and provide recommendations tailored to different constraint scenarios. Our findings emphasize the significance of our framework in addressing the practical success of QNNs.

As the limits of classical machine learning (ML) become increasingly evident—especially in terms of computational scalability and data processing—quantum computing emerges as a promising frontier capable of addressing these challenges. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) represents the intersection of quantum computing and traditional ML, aiming to leverage quantum phenomena such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum parallelism to enhance learning capabilities, accelerate training, and solve complex problems that are intractable for classical algorithms. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving field of QML, beginning with the theoretical foundations of quantum computing and its synergy with classical machine learning principles. We explore key QML algorithms, including quantum support vector machines (QSVM), variational quantum classifiers (VQC), quantum neural networks (QNN), and hybrid quantum-classical approaches that exemplify the practical integration of both paradigms. We further examine real-world applications of QML across domains such as drug discovery, finance, climate modeling, and optimization, where quantum enhancements have begun to show early but promising results. Despite its theoretical potential, QML faces substantial limitations, including quantum hardware instability, limited qubit scalability, noise sensitivity, and unresolved challenges in quantum data encoding and interpretability. In synthesizing recent advancements and persistent obstacles, this paper highlights the importance of continued interdisciplinary research, algorithmic refinement, and hardware evolution. We also outline future directions that could lead QML from experimental promise to practical utility, including developments in quantum error correction, benchmarking standards, and application-specific quantum architectures
