The rapid growth of data-intensive applications has posed significant challenges for classical machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly in terms of computational efficiency and scalability. This study explores the role of quantum computing in optimizing machine learning performance through the implementation of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), specifically using the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) model. The research adopts a Design Science Research approach, involving problem identification, model development, system implementation, and performance evaluation. Both classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) and QSVM models are developed and tested using benchmark classification datasets. The results indicate that QSVM outperforms the classical SVM model across multiple evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Additionally, QSVM demonstrates improved computational efficiency by reducing training time, particularly when handling high-dimensional data. These improvements are attributed to the ability of quantum computing to utilize quantum kernel methods and map data into higher-dimensional feature spaces, enabling better pattern recognition and classification performance.  Despite these promising outcomes, the study also identifies several limitations related to current quantum hardware, such as noise, decoherence, and limited qubit availability, which may affect scalability and practical implementation. Therefore, further research is required to enhance quantum hardware reliability and develop hybrid quantum-classical models. In conclusion, quantum machine learning offers a promising solution to overcome the limitations of classical approaches, providing enhanced performance and efficiency for complex data processing tasks in future intelligent systems.
