Quantum machine learning (QML) explores how quantum computing can enhance classical machine learning algorithms. Machine learning involves learning patterns from data to interpret new inputs, with applications in image recognition, speech processing, and strategy optimization. Recent research investigates whether quantum computing can improve classical methods by efficiently running computationally intensive algorithms or translating stochastic methods into quantum theory. This paper provides a systematic overview of QML, discussing various approaches and technical details, and highlights the potential of a future quantum learning theory. Classical machine learning includes supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning involves learning from labeled data, while unsupervised learning identifies patterns without prior examples. Reinforcement learning optimizes strategies through feedback. Quantum machine learning aims to leverage quantum computing's power to solve these problems more efficiently. Quantum computing uses qubits and quantum gates to perform operations on multiple states simultaneously, offering potential speedups. Quantum algorithms are developed to solve typical machine learning problems using quantum computing's efficiency. This includes adapting classical algorithms to run on quantum computers or using quantum mechanics to represent and process data. Challenges remain in creating a comprehensive theory of quantum learning, but progress is being made in areas like quantum versions of k-nearest neighbor methods, support vector machines, and clustering algorithms. Quantum versions of k-nearest neighbor methods use quantum states to efficiently calculate distances between data points. The swap test is used to measure the fidelity between quantum states, which can be translated into classical distance metrics. Support vector machines use quantum computing to evaluate inner products efficiently, which is crucial for kernel methods. Clustering algorithms use quantum computing to find optimal centroids or medians, leveraging quantum states to represent data. Neural networks and decision trees are still under exploration for quantum versions. Quantum decision trees use quantum states to represent features and make decisions, while Bayesian methods use quantum states to calculate probabilities. Despite progress, a fully functional quantum pattern classification method remains elusive, but research continues to explore how quantum mechanics can be applied to machine learning. The potential of quantum computing to revolutionize data processing is significant, and ongoing research aims to develop practical quantum machine learning algorithms.Quantum machine learning (QML) explores how quantum computing can enhance classical machine learning algorithms.
