Quantum Annealing in Machine Learning: QBoost on D-Wave Quantum Annealer
Hadi Salloum, Ali Salloum, Manuel Mazzara, Sergey V. Zykov
Abstract
Quantum computing (QC) has become a fascinating and popular topic due to its broad range of applications, particularly in machine learning (ML). The intersection of QC and ML is known as Quantum Machine Learning (QML). QML is a field that investigates how QC can enhance ML, making it one of the most exciting areas of research due to the potential of QC in solving complex problems. In this paper, we demonstrate the Quantum Annealing (QA) approach to improving ML in binary classification tasks. We implemented the QBoost algorithm on a few datasets using D-Wave’s quantum computers, specifically the Advantage 1 and Advantage 2 prototypes, incorporating the new feature Fast Anneal.
