Abstract
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a unique computing area. The utilization of quantum technology in machine learning can solve complex problems (unsolvable using classical computational methodologies). The revolutionary paradigms potential has spurred scientific research and progress. Therefore, a highly essential exploration is needed to extract scientific breakthrough paths. The proposed work supports the concept by providing a scientometric analysis of QML scientific literature for the period 2003–2023, gathered from the Web of Science database. The study explores the powerful machine learning techniques in the quantum realm. The scientometric implication of the article provides deep insights into the publication and citation pattern, geographical distribution analysis, document co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence network analysis. The research findings highlight the predominant use of algorithms such as quantum support vector machines, quantum neural networks, and Q-learning. Notably active research hotspots in this field include drug design and discovery, quantum control, optimization, error-correction, and quantum state tomography. Additionally, collaborative efforts are evident in the domains of quantum unsupervised and reinforcement machine learning. The overall inference of QML literature portrays insightful recommendations and research directions for the academic community.
