contents Time series forecasting is a valuable tool for many applications, such as stock price predictions, demand forecasting or logistical optimization. There are many well-established statistical and machine learning models that are used for this purpose. Recently in the field of quantum machine learning many candidate models for forecasting have been proposed, however in the absence of theoretical grounds for advantage thorough benchmarking is essential for scientific evaluation. To this end, we performed a benchmarking study using real data of various quantum models, both gate-based and annealing-based, comparing them to the state-of-the-art classical approaches, including extensive hyperparameter optimization. Overall we found that the best classical models outperformed the best quantum models. Most of the quantum models were able to achieve comparable results and for one data set two quantum models outperformed the classical ARIMA model. These results serve as a useful point of comparison for the field of forecasting with quantum machine learning.
