Background of the Study
Big data analytics has become an essential tool in various sectors, including education, for analyzing large datasets and deriving meaningful insights. Federal University, Wukari, Taraba State, is increasingly reliant on data-driven decision-making to enhance its academic and administrative processes. However, traditional data processing methods often struggle with the complexity and volume of big data, leading to slower analysis times and inaccurate predictions (Dixon et al., 2023). Quantum computing, with its potential to process exponentially large datasets faster and more efficiently than classical computers, could provide a transformative solution for big data analytics. By leveraging quantum algorithms and quantum machine learning, educational institutions can analyze big data more effectively, providing timely insights into student performance, resource allocation, and institutional planning.
The application of quantum computing to big data analytics at Federal University, Wukari could offer new opportunities to address challenges such as real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and pattern recognition. This research aims to explore how quantum computing can be harnessed to enhance the university’s ability to analyze big data more effectively and efficiently.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of big data analytics, Federal University, Wukari faces significant challenges in processing and analyzing large datasets due to the limitations of classical computing methods. As the volume and complexity of data increase, traditional data analysis techniques become less effective and slower, hindering decision-making in key areas such as student performance prediction, resource allocation, and academic planning. Quantum computing has the potential to address these challenges by offering faster data processing and the ability to uncover patterns that classical computers may miss. However, its implementation in big data analytics at the university remains underexplored.
Objectives of the Study
To explore the potential of quantum computing for big data analytics at Federal University, Wukari.
To design a quantum-based model for enhancing big data analytics in the university’s academic and administrative processes.
To evaluate the feasibility and impact of using quantum computing for big data analytics at Federal University, Wukari.
