Abstract
Machine Learning (ML) is arguably the most ad-vanced sub-field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It concerns the study of computer algorithms that can improve automatically by learning from data (experience) without being explicitly pre-programmed. On the other hand, the quantum version of ML, Quantum Machine Learning (QML), forms one of the most crucial and recent quantum computing applications. It uses quantum mechanical principles such as superposition, interference, and tunneling to enable quantum computers to learn from data. Some examples of QML algorithms include Quantum Principal Component Analysis (QPCA) and Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM). The QSVM is a robust supervised machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression. Therefore, this paper discusses the design and implementation of an efficient QSVM model. The model's efficiency is achieved using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the classical data, then loading the classical data into a quantum computer. Experimental results demonstrate the significance and application of the QSVM model reported in this paper.
