contents Machine learning holds fundamental computational significance due to the increasing demand for efficient solutions to complex tasks in data analysis, pattern recognition, and optimization, which are essential for addressing the multifaceted challenges of modern society. As the volume of data proliferates at an unprecedented rate, the need for more powerful machine learning strategies becomes increasingly evident. Quantum neural networks (QNNs) represent an emerging and transformative research field that seeks to harness the unique principles of quantum mechanics to enhance the capabilities of machine learning algorithms. This survey examines various QNN approaches, including fully connected QNNs, quantum convolutional neural networks, equivariant QNNs, quantum Hopfield networks, quantum Boltzmann machines, quantum reservoir computing, and composite networks for quantum reinforcement learning, quantum generative learning, and quantum transfer learning. We summarize the relevant investigations on their performance, including learning accuracy, training time, and resource requirements, etc. Each QNN type has unique strengths and weaknesses, offering diverse solutions for different applications.
