Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), the fusion of quantum computing and machine learning, offers unprecedented opportunities to advance research across multiple scientific fields. Quantum-enhanced algorithms provide powerful tools for overcoming the limitations of classical methods, enabling researchers to tackle complex problems with greater accuracy, efficiency, and speed.

Recent breakthroughs in quantum simulators, variational quantum algorithms, and quantum generative models have made it possible to apply quantum computing to a range of challenging tasks, such as predictive modelling, optimization, and large-scale data analysis. As access to quantum hardware expands, the potential for QML to revolutionize diverse sectors, including but not limited to materials science, environmental monitoring, healthcare, finance, and aerospace, is increasingly becoming tangible.

This Special Issue invites original contributions, technical papers, simulations, and reviews that explore the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and forward-looking perspectives of QML and quantum generative models across various interdisciplinary research areas. While the primary focus will be on the applications of QML in these fields, the scope of this Special Issue is not limited to the defined fields and welcomes contributions from all areas where QML can have a transformative impact.

We aim to highlight how quantum computing can transcend classical limitations and accelerate breakthroughs across a wide range of scientific domains, fostering innovation and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in research and technology.

In the evolving digital landscape, the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on social media platforms reveals a compelling paradox: the capability to provide personalized experiences juxtaposed with inherent biases reminiscent of human imperfections. Such biases prompt rigorous contemplation on matters of fairness, equity, and societal ramifications, and penetrate the foundational essence of AI. Within this intricate context, the present work ventures into novel domains by examining the potential of quantum computing as a viable remedy for bias in artificial intelligence. The conceptual framework of the quantum sentinel is presented—an innovative approach that employs quantum principles for the detection and scrutiny of biases in AI algorithms. Furthermore, the study poses and investigates the question of whether the integration of advanced quantum computing to address AI bias is seen as an excessive measure or a requisite advancement commensurate with the intricacy of the issue. By intertwining quantum mechanics, AI bias, and the philosophical considerations they induce, this research fosters a discourse on the journey toward ethical AI, thus establishing a foundation for an ethically conscious and balanced digital environment. We also show that the quantum Zeno effect can protect SVM hyperplanes from bias through targeted simulations. Full article
