ederated learning allows collaborative model training across de centralized devices or organizations without sharing private data,
an emerging approach that addresses critical data privacy issues
in machine learning but also introduces novel challenges com pared to traditional centralized methods.
On the other hand, Quantum computing is integrated in Quan tum federated learning to further enhance privacy, security, and
efficiency, while also being a factor of weakness if used by attack ers considering the enormous capacity of processing that could
give them the upper hand in their conducted attacks
Ongoing research are exploring decentralized block-chain-based
frameworks, asynchronous training, post-quantum cryptography
for security and many other techniques to prevent such leverage,
while key research directions include tackling statistical hetero geneity across decentralized data, ensuring robustness to unre liable clients, reducing communication costs, defending against
inference attacks, and securing privacy.
Real-world applications of Quantum-inspired federated learning
includes healthcare, finance, connected vehicles and beyond.
This article will address the following:
