Quantum machine learning (QML) is a combination of quantum computing and traditional machine learning, which has the potential to revolutionize data analysis. QML leverages qubits, which can represent a 0, a 1, or a quantum superposition of both 0 and 1 simultaneously, and can become entangled, meaning the state of one qubit is intrinsically tied to the state of another. This allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of data in ways that classical computers simply cannot. Quantum algorithms, such as Grover’s and Shor’s algorithms, offer exponential speedup compared to their classical counterparts, enabling rapid data processing and analysis on an unprecedented scale. QML also excels at simulating quantum systems, making it invaluable for fields like materials science, drug discovery, and chemistry.
