Abstract

In this paper, we apply Quantum Machine Learning to analyze security datasets. We compare cross-models, Quantum Machine Learning (QML) against Classical Machine Learning (CML), performance with increasing data size, and performance with increasing iteration numbers using commonly used machine learning techniques such as Neural Networks (NN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR). Our study focuses on assessing the accuracy of QML and CML approaches on real-world security datasets. The results provide light on the advantages and disadvantages of both QML and CML methodologies, with implications for their use in security data analysis. The experimental findings provide useful information on the applicability of QML and CML for security-related applications. The study contributes to the growing field of quantum machine learning research, particularly in the context of security data analysis, and offers helpful advice for academics and practitioners working in this area.

Quantum Machine Learning Techniques for Network Defense: Comparative Study of Quantum vs. Classical Approaches

J Rosemary, Adrishya Maria Abraham

With the potential for quantum computing to completely transform cybersecurity, quantum machine learning is becoming a ground-breaking technology. Cyber-attacks have been successfully countered by traditional network defense systems, which mostly use conventional machine learning (ML) techniques. However, the growing complexity of assaults and the exponential expansion of network data reveal the shortcomings of traditional methods, especially with regard to speed and scalability. By utilizing quantum algorithms like Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM), Quantum Neural Networks (QNN), and Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC), Quantum Machine Learning (QML) presents a viable substitute. These methods are especially well-suited for real-time network defense scenarios since they show the capacity to handle high-dimensional data, identify complex patterns, and increase computational efficiency. In this research, the effectiveness of QML techniques in network defense is thoroughly examined and contrasted with that of traditional machine learning techniques. The study emphasizes how QML may surpass conventional models in terms of accuracy, scalability, and resilience against sophisticated threats by concentrating on use cases like intrusion detection, malware analysis, and anomaly detection. The necessity for hybrid quantum-classical models and the present constraints of quantum hardware are among the difficulties that are discussed in the study. This study highlights the revolutionary potential of QML in strengthening network defense mechanisms and identifies crucial areas for further research, paving the road for a secure digital future by combining theoretical ideas with experimental discoveries.

Why Classical-Quantum Machine Learning Works Better Than Classical Machine Learning

Abdullah Md Raihan Chy, Md. Farhan Shahriyar

Quantum machine learning has emerged as a promising paradigm that leverages quantum computational principles to potentially outperform classical approaches on specific learning tasks. This paper presents a comprehensive empirical investigation comparing Quantum Machine Learning (QML), specifically Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) against Classical Machine Learning (CML) baselines including Logistic Regression, K Nearest Neighbors and classical SVMs. We implement quantum kernel methods using variational quantum circuits with angle embedding, IQP and ZZ feature maps on datasets exhibiting varying structural complexity. Our experiments on synthetic quantum generated datasets (Quantum Parity, Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Interference) demonstrate that QSVM achieves superior classification accuracy with improvements ranging from 2.9 % to 60 % over the best classical baselines achieving a 55.6 % overall win rate. Notably, on the Quantum Parity dataset, QSVM consistently outperformed all classical models across multiple configurations. On real-world benchmark datasets (Breast Cancer, Iris, Wine), QSVM Angle achieved 88% accuracy on Breast Cancer compared to 76% for classical SVM Linear a 15.8 % relative improvement while matching the best classical performance on Iris$(100 \%)$and Wine$(92 \%)$. All experiments were conducted using quantum circuit simulation on classical hardware. These results provide empirical evidence that quantum kernel methods offer meaningful advantages over classical approaches on datasets with complex feature interactions. We discuss the theoretical foundations of these improvements including quantum feature space expressivity and kernel alignment.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has emerged as a paradigm that combines the computational advantages of quantum computing with the predictive capabilities of machine learning to address complex data classification problems. As data dimensionality increases rapidly and classical learning algorithms face scalability constraints, QML leverages quantum parallelism, entanglement, and high-dimensional Hilbert space representations to enhance learning performance. This paper reviews and analyses advanced QML algorithms, including Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM), Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC), Quantum Neural Networks (QNN), and Quantum Kernel Estimation, for optimizing both binary and multi-class classification tasks under high-complexity conditions. The proposed QML framework is evaluated on benchmark datasets like MNIST, the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (BCW) dataset, and synthetic nonlinear datasets, and is compared against classical machine learning baselines, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests (RF), and Deep Neural Networks (DNN). The results demonstrate notable improvements in classification accuracy (up to 96.8%), decision margins, and computational efficiency in quantum-suitable data regimes, while also highlighting current limitations related to noise, circuit depth, and hardware constraints. Overall, the study presents a unified QML framework, theoretical formulations, and experimental evaluations that illustrate the potential of quantum algorithms for next-generation classification tasks.
