Quantum Machine Learning using Qiskit 2.x

Build Quantum ML Models on Real Datasets

‼️Early-Bird Campaign Till July 31: General 50% off (code EB). Low-income countries 70% off (code Dev).

If you understand training loops, kernels, and neural networks, you already know most of what quantum machine learning requires. The concepts map directly: the kernel trick becomes quantum kernels, training loops become variational circuits, combinatorial optimization becomes QAOA. What's missing is the quantum layer — and that is precisely what this course teaches.

What is included:

8 live sessions with recordings — theoretical foundations plus guided walkthroughs of the code files, so you see every implementation built line by line

20+ Jupyter notebooks — complete, end-to-end QML pipelines in Qiskit 2.4, built on real datasets: leukemia, breast cancer, iris, and financial data

All PDF slides — complete derivations and written to be a standalone reference

A bank of R&D ideas in QML — starting points for research and projects

Includes Quantum Portfolio Optimization Workshop

🏢 Employer-sponsored: Most learners get reimbursed. Reimbursement request template available on request. A certificate of completion will be issued to all enrolled participants.

What you’ll learn

You will implement Quantum SVMs, Quantum neural networks, QAOA, Quantum k-means, and hybrid quantum-classical models in Qiskit 2.4.

  • States, gates, and measurement taught as linear algebra you already use

  • Superposition, interference, and entanglement as computational resources

  • Qiskit 2.4 primitives: SamplerV2 and EstimatorV2 from day one

  • Basis, amplitude, and angle encoding — and when to use each

  • Design quantum feature maps as feature engineering

  • Understand how encoding choices drive model expressivity

  • The kernel trick, extended to quantum Hilbert spaces

  • Train QSVMs on leukemia, breast cancer, and iris data

  • Benchmark quantum kernels honestly against classical baselines

  • Variational circuits as the quantum analogue of training loops

  • Choose ansätze, cost functions, and optimizers that actually converge

  • Diagnose barren plateaus and other trainability failures

  • Formulate Max-Cut and portfolio problems as QUBOs for QAOA

  • Implement quantum k-means for unsupervised learning

  • Apply QAOA to real financial data

Who this course is for

  • AI/ML Engineers & Researchers — Who want to implement, benchmark, and evaluate quantum ML models with theoretical depth and practical codes.

  • Computational Scientists — Who want to expand their computational tools to include practical quantum computing routines for data analysis.

  • Tech Leads — Who want to develop insights for quantum ML use-cases, hardware limits, and quantum-ready workforce.

Prerequisites

  • Classical Machine Learning Concepts

    This course assumes knowledge and fluency with basic classical ML concepts, including neural networks, supervised and unsupervised ML.

  • Working Knowledge of Numpy, Sklearn, Pandas

    Students with prior experience in ML programming and familiar with Python tools will find the course most useful.

  • Familiarity with Matrices

    Working experience with matrices is required. Exposure to linear algebra before the course will help you dig deeper.
