For intelligent surveillance videos, anomaly detection is extremely important. Deep learning algorithms have been popular for evaluating real-time surveillance recordings, like traffic accidents, and criminal or unlawful incidents such as suicide attempts. Nevertheless, Deep learning methods for classification, like convolutional neural networks, necessitate a lot of computing power. Quantum computing is a branch of technology that solves abnormal and complex problems using quantum mechanics. As a result, the focus of this research is on developing a hybrid quantum computing model which is based on deep learning. This research develops a Quantum Computing-based Convolutional Neural Network (QC-CNN) to extract features and classify anomalies from surveillance footage. A Quantum-based Circuit, such as the real amplitude circuit, is utilized to improve the performance of the model. As far as my research, this is the first work to employ quantum deep learning techniques to classify anomalous events in video surveillance applications. There are 13 anomalies classified from the UCF-crime dataset. Based on experimental results, the proposed model is capable of efficiently classifying data concerning confusion matrix, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), accuracy, Area Under Curve (AUC), precision, recall as well as F1-score. The proposed QC-CNN has attained the best accuracy of 95.65 percent which is 5.37% greater when compared to other existing models. To measure the efficiency of the proposed work, QC-CNN is also evaluated with classical and quantum models.
Abstract Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a promising paradigm that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics—such as superposition and entanglement—to overcome the limitations of classical machine learning in handling complex, high-dimensional data. However, practical challenges such as limited coherence times of qubits and the integration of quantum circuits with classical architectures have hindered the full realization of QML’s potential. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel hybrid architecture, termed the Classical-Quantum Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CQHCNN), which integrates quantum-inspired layers into conventional deep learning frameworks. These quantum layers utilize quantum information processing to extract complex features, while the classical components perform feature extraction and classification. This paper evaluates the performance of our model on several benchmark datasets, including MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10 and COVID-19 Radiography, demonstrating its ability to outperform some other Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) in terms of many metrics. Experimental results indicate that the hybrid model achieves significant improvements in classification accuracy and computational efficiency, highlighting the potential of quantum-inspired techniques to enhance classical machine learning models.
This research explores the integration of quantum computing and machine learning for anomaly detection in critical infrastructure sensor networks. Anomaly detection is crucial for maintaining the reliability and security of these networks, where early detection of faults or intrusions can prevent catastrophic failures. Traditional machine learning methods often struggle with the high-dimensional and complex data generated by these systems. Hybrid quantum approaches, combining quantum algorithms with classical machine learning models, offer a promising solution by leveraging quantum computational advantages, such as quantum feature mapping and kernel methods. This paper investigates how these hybrid models can improve detection accuracy, reduce processing time, and handle large-scale data more efficiently. The potential of quantum machine learning for anomaly detection in critical infrastructure is discussed, along with the challenges posed by current quantum hardware limitations and future directions for research.
Brain tumor detection is a vital and challenging task in medical diagnosis, requiring highly precise and efficient methods to improve patient treatment outcomes. Traditional approaches rely on classical machine learning and deep learning techniques, which, while effective to a degree, often struggle with capturing the complex and high-dimensional patterns present in medical imaging data. A significant limitation of these conventional methods is their inability to process and analyze intricate features efficiently, which can impact diagnostic accuracy. To address these challenges, this work proposes a novel Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) framework that combines quantum computing principles, via quantum circuits, with classical machine learning architectures implemented through tools like PyTorch and PennyLane. This hybrid approach enhances feature extraction and classification capabilities, leading to superior performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the QCNN model achieves an improved accuracy of 90 percent on the test dataset, surpassing traditional methods and showing promise for advancing brain tumor detection technology. This improvement is supported by consistent decreases in training and validation loss during model training, highlighting the robustness and efficacy of the quantum-enhanced model.
There is a pressing need for anomaly detection algorithms that can handle large amounts of diverse traffic data due to the quick growth of networked systems and the sophistication of contemporary cyberattacks. Despite the widespread use of conventional machine learning techniques for network intrusion detection, feature representation constraints, dataset imbalance, and the computational expense of scaling to vast problem spaces sometimes restrict their efficacy. In the meantime, new developments in quantum-assisted computation have opened up exciting possibilities for using quantum state changes to improve the feature learning process. Using the NF-UNSWNB15-v2 benchmark, this research presents HybridQCNN, a unique quantum-classical computing framework for binary classification of network traffic.The proposed architecture combines standard preprocessing techniques with an 8-qubit Parameterized Quantum Circuit (PQC) featuring multiple variational layers, where IsingXX and IsingYY entangling operations are applied to encode interfeature correlations, and a subsequent fully connected classical layer handles the final binary decision. A rigorous leakage-free data partitioning protocol was enforced, ensuring that all preprocessing transformations—including feature encoding, normalization, and threshold computation—were derived exclusively from the training subset, thereby preventing any information leakage from held-out partitions during evaluation. Experimental validation on a class-balanced subset of 60,000 traffic records yielded a classification accuracy of 97.33%, an F1-score of 0.9730, and a malicious traffic detection precision of 98.38%. Furthermore, the model achieved an AUC-ROC of 0.9861, reflecting strong class-level discriminability. Despite this performance, the entire model contains only 489 trainable parameters, underscoring the parameter efficiency of hybrid architectures relative to conventional deep learning baselines. These results suggest that integrating variational quantum circuits with classical inference modules provides an effective and scalable solution for network anomaly detection.
