Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms for Big Data Processing

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is a new discipline that unites artificial intelligence and quantum computing and can address computational problems of big data analysis. Traditional machine learning algorithms may be pushed to their limits in dealing with the increased complexity and scale of today's data sets and thus are unable to find useful insights within a reasonable time frame. Quantum computing, capable of tapping quantum mechanical processes like superposition and entanglement, is capable of turning this field upside down. In this paper, the concepts behind quantum computing are discussed and how machine learning could be used using the assistance of quantum algorithms in order to better deal with big data. It explains the most optimal quantum algorithms like Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM), Quantum Principal Component Analysis (QPCA), and Quantum k-Means Clustering, and why they are better and faster compared to their classical counterparts. It also explores actual applications in medicine, finance, and artificial intelligence. It also addresses the limits and disadvantages of existing quantum technology like hardware limitations, noise, and complexity
