QUANTUM COMPUTING AND ITS POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS IN MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA SCIENCE

Abstract

Quantum computing is a revolutionary field that promises to provide computational advantages that classical computers cannot achieve. This article delves into the intersection of quantum computing and its potential applications in machine learning (ML) and data science. By leveraging quantum mechanics, quantum computers can solve complex problems faster and more efficiently than traditional machines. The article explores key quantum algorithms, including Grover's algorithm and Shor's algorithm, and their potential to enhance the performance of ML models and data processing tasks. Furthermore, it provides a critical review of the ongoing research in quantum-enhanced machine learning (QML) and quantum data science (QDS), highlighting the challenges and future opportunities for integration into practical applications.
