Optimization problems across domains such as logistics, finance, and artificial intelligence often involve complex and NP-hard formulations that are computationally challenging for classical algorithms due to scalability and efficiency limitations. The study aims to systematically investigate the role of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) in addressing complex optimization problems and to analyze its advantages over traditional optimization techniques. A comprehensive survey and comparative analysis of key QML algorithms, including Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), and Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs), is conducted by examining their working principles, optimization capabilities, and real-world applications. The findings indicate that QML algorithms demonstrate significant potential in exploring large solutions spaces efficiently, achieving faster convergence, and providing improved optimization performance compared to classical approaches, although challenges such as quantum noise, scalability, and hardware limitations remain. The novelty of this study lies in providing a unified and critical comparative framework that integrates multiple QML optimization algorithms, highlights their practical feasibility, and identifies key research gaps hindering their real-world deployment. The implications of this research provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate QML techniques and emphasize the need for advancements in hybrid quantum -classical systems, algorithms design, and quantum hardware to enable practical large-scale optimization.
