Background of the Study
Data mining involves extracting valuable insights and patterns from large datasets through various techniques such as clustering, classification, and regression. As the volume and complexity of data continue to increase, traditional data mining algorithms are often found lacking in their efficiency and computational power. Quantum computing, with its ability to process vast amounts of data simultaneously, promises significant improvements in data mining techniques. Quantum algorithms leverage quantum mechanical principles such as superposition and entanglement to perform calculations at exponentially faster rates than classical computers (Goswami et al., 2024). For example, quantum algorithms like Grover's and Shor's algorithms have demonstrated the potential to outperform classical counterparts in specific tasks (Lloyd et al., 2023). Given the growth in data generation, there is a pressing need to explore quantum algorithms' integration into data mining to better handle large and complex datasets.
Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto State, offers a unique environment for evaluating the impact of quantum algorithms on data mining. The university generates substantial data from academic, research, and administrative activities, making it an ideal setting to apply quantum data mining techniques. This study will analyze the potential benefits and challenges of integrating quantum algorithms into existing data mining frameworks at the university, with a focus on improving data processing efficiency and uncovering new patterns in the university’s datasets.
Statement of the Problem
While traditional data mining techniques are effective in many scenarios, they often struggle with large, complex, and high-dimensional datasets. The growing complexity of academic, research, and administrative data at Usmanu Danfodiyo University calls for more efficient and powerful data mining techniques. Classical algorithms may fail to provide timely and accurate insights due to computational limitations, highlighting the need for quantum-based alternatives. However, there is limited research on how quantum algorithms can be practically integrated into existing data mining systems at Nigerian universities. This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating how quantum algorithms could improve data mining tasks at the university.
