\begin{abstract}
\addchaptertocentry{\abstractname} % Add the abstract to the table of contents
One important part of neural networks are computational neurons and their highly adapted derivatives. This allows neural networks to offer solutions to otherwise hard to solve problems. Theoretical expectations and current advancements in the field of quantum computation allow the development and evaluation of self-contained quantum neuron designs. Through various experiments, data is collected and assessed. The results indicate the existence of general quantum classifiers that offer results comparable to the classical variant. At the same time, the variance when it comes to achievable training accuracy dampens any possible impact. Another issue arises, as running quantum classifiers on real hardware leads to vastly inferior results when compared to simulator runs, due to induced noise. Nevertheless, quantum classifiers appear to be a promising, future alternative for classical classifiers.
