Quantum machine learning explores how quantum computers can outperform classical computers in machine learning tasks. This review discusses the potential of quantum algorithms to provide speedups in data analysis and machine learning. Quantum mechanics enables counter-intuitive patterns that classical systems cannot efficiently produce, suggesting quantum computers may excel in pattern recognition. Quantum machine learning algorithms, such as quantum principal component analysis and quantum support vector machines, demonstrate exponential speedups over classical counterparts. These algorithms leverage quantum linear algebra subroutines (qBLAS) for tasks like Fourier transforms, eigenvector finding, and solving linear equations. Quantum annealers and programmable quantum optical arrays are well-suited for deep learning. Quantum machine learning also applies to quantum data, where quantum simulators can analyze quantum states more efficiently than classical methods. Challenges include input/output problems, gate complexity, and benchmarking. Despite these challenges, quantum machine learning holds promise for applications in data analysis, classification, and quantum system characterization. Future work requires overcoming hardware limitations and optimizing quantum algorithms for practical use. Quantum machine learning could become a key application for quantum computers, enabling new insights and capabilities in data processing and pattern recognition.Quantum machine learning explores how quantum computers can outperform classical computers in machine learning tasks.
