Applied Quantum Machine Learning using Qiskit

Dr. Muhammad Faryad

Tier-2 IBM Qiskit Advocate

Build real QML models in Qiskit 2.4 for real datasets

If you want to build ML pipelines for real datasets, like Leukemia, breast cancer, iris, and financial data, to run on quantum computers in Qiskit 2.4, join this 10-session live course.

Topics include:
✅ Role of entanglement and measurements in QML
✅ Data encoding and feature maps
✅ Quantum kernels and k-means clustering
✅ Support vector machines using quantum kernels
✅ Quantum neural networks for classification
✅ QAOA and QUBO for Max-cut and financial applications
✅ Inclusion of quantum noise in the QML pipeline to mimic quantum hardware
✅ Training strategies and barren plateaus

Each lecture will have a theoretical foundation followed by a code walk-through of implementations.

If you are a student, researcher, data scientist, or industry professional looking to enter the field of Quantum AI, this course provides a structured pathway from fundamentals to advanced applications.

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.

  • Design quantum kernels, variational quantum classifiers, and optimization workflows.

  • Build quantum k-means clustering, quantum support vector machines, and quantum neural network classifiers in Qiskit 2.4.

  • Transform Max-cut and financial portfolio optimization QUBO-type problems into the QAOA framework

  • Learn basis, angle, Hamiltonian, and amplitude encoding schemes to select the appropriate strategy for a given problem.

  • Analyze circuit depth and complexity tradeoffs and understand how feature maps shape models' inductive bias.

  • Implement techniques for high-dimensional data by using re-uploading layers with Z, ZZ, Pauli, Efficient SU2, and other techniques.

  • Write, debug, and optimize quantum codes using Qiskit, Qiskit_IBM_Runtime, and Qiskit_Aer for IBM quantum hardware and simulators.

  • Build hybrid classical–quantum pipelines by integrating quantum models with PyTorch, Tensorflow, and Pandas.

  • Include quantum noise processes in the ML pipeline to mimic and take advantage of quantum noise in prediction
