Abstract

Quantum social network analysis (QSNA) is a recent advancement in the interdisciplinary field of quantum computing and social network analysis. This manuscript comprehensively reviews QSNA, emphasizing its methodologies, implementation strategies, challenges, and potential applications. It explores the conceptual foundation of key social network analysis research problems, including link prediction, influence maximization, and community detection. The research examines how quantum algorithms can revolutionize such social network tasks by leveraging principles from quantum mechanics and information theory and highlights the advantages of quantum algorithms in handling complex social network structures. The implementation section delves into the practical aspects of QSNA, such as frameworks, experimental setups, and evaluation methods. We assess the capabilities of existing quantum programming language tools and platforms. Various case studies illustrate the potential of quantum computing to enhance the performance of social network analysis. Additionally, we identify several crucial challenges and future research directions for QSNA, including the complexity of developing quantum algorithms, the need for interdisciplinary knowledge, and the challenges of integrating quantum and classical computing resources. This paper aims to serve as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners, providing insights into the transformative potential of quantum computing in advancing the analysis of social networks and outlining future research directions in this emerging field.
