Abstract

This study aims to leverage the advanced capabilities of quantum computing to construct an efficient framework for processing large-scale health data, uncover potential higher-order correlations in medicine, and enhance the accuracy of smart healthcare diagnosis and treatment. A data processing framework is developed using quantum annealing algorithms and quantum circuits. We call it the quantum medical data simulation computational model (Q-MDSC). A unique encoding method based on quantum bits is employed for health data features, such as encoding symptom information from electronic health records into different quantum bits and representing different alleles of genetic data through superposition states of quantum bits. The properties of quantum entanglement are utilized to relate different data types, and quantum parallelism is harnessed to process multiple data combinations simultaneously. Additionally, this quantum computing framework is compared with traditional data mining methods using the same datasets, which include the Cochrane Systematic Review Database (https://www.cochranelibrary.com), the BioASQ Dataset (https://participants-area.bioasq.org), the PubMed Central Dataset (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc), and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov). The datasets are divided into training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio during the experiments. Tests are conducted on association mining tasks of varying data scales and complexities, ranging…
