Variational quantum support vector machine based on Hadamard test

Classical machine learning algorithms seem to be totally incapable of processing tremendous amounts of data,while quantum machine learning algorithms could deal with big data with ease and provide exponential acceleration over classical counterparts.Meanwhile,variational quantum algorithms are widely proposed to solve relevant computational problems on noisy,intermediate-scale quantum devices.In this paper,we apply variational quantum algorithms to quantum support vector machines and demonstrate a proof-of-principle numerical experiment of this algorithm.In addition,in the classification stage,fewer qubits,shorter circuit depth,and simpler measurement requirements show its superiority over the former algorithms.
