Exploring Quantum Machine Learning with Meltem Tolunay: Qiskit Summer School 2024

In this lecture, we discuss quantum machine learning, with a specific focus on near-term algorithms. After introducing classical and quantum machine learning, we show how a variational quantum circuit can be used as a classifier. In the second half of the lecture, we look at quantum kernels and support vector machines, and conclude the lecture with a discussion on quantum neural networks.
