Abstract

Quantum computing and machine learning (ML) have received significant developments which have set the stage for the next frontier of creative work and usefulness. This paper aims at reviewing various data-encoding techniques in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) while highlighting their significance in transforming classical data into quantum systems. We analyze basis, amplitude, angle, and other high-level encodings in depth to demonstrate how various strategies affect encoding improvements in quantum algorithms. However, they identify major problems with encoding in the framework of QML, including scalability, computational burden, and noise. Future directions for research outline these challenges, aiming to enhance the excellence of encoding techniques in the constantly evolving quantum technology setting. This review shall enable the researcher to gain an enhanced understanding of data encoding in QML, and it also suggests solutions to the current limitations in this area.
