• Authors: Giacomo Cappiello, Filippo Caruso,
• Abstract summary: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that mostly affects elderly people, causing important cognitive impairments. The DARWIN dataset contains handwriting samples from people affected by Alzheimer's disease and a group of healthy people. Here we apply quantum AI to this use-case. In particular, we use this dataset to test kernel methods for classification task and compare their performances with the ones obtained via quantum machine learning methods.

• Abstract: Quantum machine learning is a new research field combining quantum information science and machine learning. Quantum computing technologies seem to be particularly well suited to solving problems in the health sector in an efficient way, because they may deal with large datasets more efficiently than classical AI. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that mostly affects elderly people, causing important cognitive impairments. It is the most common cause of dementia and it has an effect on memory, thought, learning abilities and movement control. This type of disease has no cure, consequently an early diagnosis is fundamental for reducing its impact. The analysis of handwriting can be effective for diagnosing, as many researches have conjectured. The DARWIN (Diagnosis AlzheimeR WIth haNdwriting) dataset contains handwriting samples from people affected by Alzheimer's disease and a group of healthy people. Here we apply quantum AI to this use-case. In particular, we use this dataset to test kernel methods for classification task and compare their performances with the ones obtained via quantum machine learning methods. We find that quantum and classical algorithms achieve similar performances and in some cases quantum methods perform even better. Our results pave the way for future new quantum machine learning applications in early-screening diagnostics in the healthcare domain.

  Quantum algorithms for topological data analysis seem to provide an exponential advantage over the best classical approach. We show that the central task of TDA -- estimating Betti numbers -- is intractable even for quantum computers. We argue that an exponential quantum advantage can be recovered if the input data is given as a specification of simplices.
