Variational Quantum Circuit-Based Quantum Machine Learning Approach for Predicting Corrosion Inhibition Efficiency of Expired Pharmaceuticals
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the potential of quantum machine learning (QML) to predict the corrosion inhibition capacity of expired pharmaceutical compounds. The investigation employs a QSPR model, using features generated from density functional theory (DFT) calculations as input. At the same time, corrosion inhibition efficiency (CIE) values obtained from experimental data serve as the target output. The VQC model demonstrates varied performance across evaluation metrics, especially with encoding and ansatz design. The model achieves fine scores in evaluation metrics, with root mean square error (RMSE) of 6.15, mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.63, and mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 5.50. The research underscores the significance of larger datasets for enhancing predictive accuracy and points to QML's potential in exploring anti-corrosion materials. Although there are some limitations, this study provides a foundational framework for using QML to predict anti-corrosive properties.
