A quantum machine learning-based predictive analysis of CERN collision events
Abstract
With the advent of quantum computing, researchers have explored the applicability and any potential advantages of quantum algorithms. This study investigates the application of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) models for regression tasks. Utilizing two distinct CERN datasets (Dielectron events and Proton collision), we investigate prediction accuracy using two QML algorithms, namely Quantum Neural Network (QNN) and Quantum Long Short-Term Memory (QLSTM). We also discuss the comparative analysis and computational efficiency of QNN and QLSTM compared to classical regression methods. The results show that while the two QML models gave comparable accuracy scores to some of the classical models, the best scores were still achieved by some of the more advanced classical algorithms such as CatBoost. Further analysis of the QNN and QLSTM algorithms using multiple ansätz designs showed that increased circuit complexity did not yield substantial improvements in prediction accuracy. These findings suggest that QML models, especially QLSTM with simpler ansätz designs, offer a promising approach for modeling high-energy physics data, and highlight the importance of balancing circuit complexity with performance. The study also underscores the need for further evaluation of these algorithms on quantum hardware to better understand real-world applicability.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a simulation / modelling, done in computer models (in silico), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
