Promoting Quantum-based Machine Learning through Multifaceted Activities

Quantum-based machine learning (QML) is known to integrate quantum computing (QC) and machine learning (ML) to boost performance in data analysis and decision-making. The demand for professionals in QML has increased; however, QML is not part of the curricula for most colleges and universities. In this project, we create labware in Google Colab that encompasses knowledge of QC, ML, and QML, and demonstrates QML applications for analyzing scientific and engineering data. We integrate our learning modules into courses in Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Physics, and other disciplines, and host a faculty workshop, a student camp, and a conference tutorial session to promote the use of our learning modules. The feedback from participating faculty and students is overwhelmingly positive.
