Unsuper­vi­sed QML

Unsuper­vi­sed Quantum Machine Learning (UQML) is a field that explo­res how quantum compu­ters can find hidden patterns in data without being told what to look for. In “super­vi­sed” learning, a compu­ter is trained with labeled examp­les (like “this is a cat”). In “unsuper­vi­sed” learning, the machine looks at raw data and finds groups or anoma­lies on its own. By using quantum proper­ties like super­po­si­tion (being in multi­ple states at once), unsuper­vi­sed QML algorithms can theore­ti­cally sort through massive amounts of complex data more effec­tively than today’s fastest super­com­pu­ters. This makes it a promi­sing tool for disco­ve­ring new chemi­cals, detec­ting credit card fraud, or organi­zing large finan­cial datasets.
