QML merges principles of Quantum Computing (QC) and ML, offering improved efficiency and potential quantum advantage in data-driven tasks and when solving complex problems. In binary classification, where the goal is to assign data to one of two categories, QML uses quantum algorithms to process large datasets efficiently. Quantum algorithms like Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) exploit quantum parallelism and entanglement to enhance performance over classical methods. This study focuses on two common QML algorithms, Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) and QNN. We used the Qiskit software and conducted the experiments with three different datasets. Data preprocessing included dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and standardization using scalers. The results showed that quantum algorithms demonstrated competitive performance against their classical counterparts in terms of accuracy, while QSVC performed better than QNN. These findings suggest that QML holds potential for improving computational efficiency in binary classification tasks. This opens the way for more efficient and scalable solutions in complex classification challenges and shows the complementary role of quantum computing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/software3040024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]],"date-time":"2024-11-28T08:15:54Z","timestamp":1732781754000},"page":"498-513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Implementation and Performance Evaluation of Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms for Binary Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Surajudeen Shina","family":"Ajibosin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computing & Informatics, Bournemouth University, Poole BH12 5BB, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1047-0685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deniz","family":"Cetinkaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computing & Informatics, Bournemouth University, Poole BH12 5BB, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.1002\/spe.3039","article-title":"Quantum computing: A taxonomy, systematic review and future directions","volume":"52","author":"Gill","year":"2022","journal-title":"Softw.
