Applied Quantum Machine Learning using Qiskit

Dr. Muhammad Faryad

Tier-2 IBM Qiskit Advocate

Build Quantum ML Models on Real Datasets

‼️Early-Bird enrollments: 40% off. Use code Early.

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, neural networks become quantum neural networks. What's missing is the quantum layer — and that is precisely what this course teaches.

What is included:

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

10+ Notebooks — complete, end-to-end QML pipelines in Qiskit 2.5, built on real datasets like leukemia, breast cancer, and iris

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

Capstone project — Structured and guided final project on applications of QML

🏢 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 learn Data Encodings, Quantum SVMs, Quantum neural networks, Quantum k-means, and hybrid quantum-classical models in Qiskit 2.5.

  • 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

  • Implement quantum k-means for unsupervised learning

  • 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

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.
