Machine Learning: A Quantum Perspective

Abstract

Recently, increased availability of the data has led to advances in the field of machine learning. Despite of the growth in the domain of machine learning, the proximity to the physical limits of chip fabrication in classical computing is motivating researchers to explore the properties of quantum computing. Since quantum computers leverages the properties of quantum mechanics, it carries the ability to surpass classical computers in machine learning tasks. The study in this paper contributes in enabling researchers to understand how quantum computers can bring a paradigm shift in the field of machine learning. This paper addresses the concepts of quantum computing which influences machine learning in a quantum world. It also states the speedup observed in different machine learning algorithms when executed on quantum computers. The paper towards the end advocates the use of quantum application software and throw light on the existing challenges faced by quantum computers in the current scenario.
