A Comparative Analysis of Performance, Scalability, and Efficiency Using Quantum Computing in Big Data

Introduction The rapid growth of data in the digital era has posed significant challenges for traditional computing systems in processing, analyzing, and deriving insights from massive datasets, commonly referred to as big data. Classical computing architectures, despite their advancements, struggle with the computational complexity and resource demands of big data applications. Quantum computing, an emerging paradigm leveraging principles of quantum mechanics, promises to address these limitations by offering unprecedented computational power. This chapter provides a comparative analysis of performance, scalability, and efficiency when applying quantum computing to big data, juxtaposed against classical computing approaches. We explore the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and future potential of quantum computing in revolutionizing big data analytics. Background: Big Data and Computational Challenges Big data is characterized by the "5 Vs": volume, ve...
