Quantum Theory Approach to Performance Enhancement in Machine Learning

Quantum support vector machines (QSVMs) are a novel approach for solving classification problems, combining the principles of quantum computing with the support vector machine algorithm. In this study, we applied a QSVM to the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Original) data set to classify tumors as benign or malignant. Our results showed that the QSVM outperformed classical support vector machines in terms of classification accuracy, achieving a success rate of 100% while classical SVM shows almost perfect result with its accuracy 95%. Additionally, the QSVM required significantly less training time compared to the classical SVM. These results demonstrate the potential of QSVMs for solving complex classification problems in the field of medical diagnosis.
