The study evaluates quantum machine learning (QML) models for network intrusion detection against well-tuned classical baselines across four standard datasets, using a leakage-controlled protocol and noise simulation. It introduces a quantum-attribution audit to determine whether any performance gains are truly due to quantum effects. While most tuned classical models match or surpass QML, two quantum approaches— a quantum-kernel SVM and a small hybrid circuit—show statistically significant advantages on specific metrics and tasks.

The paper investigates the role of quantum computing in network‑security classification through two experiments. First, it evaluates near‑term quantum‑kernel support vector machines on datasets such as KDD Cup 1999, CICIDS2017, and BoT‑IoT, finding that quantum kernels can match or sometimes improve classical baselines, though classical RBF kernels often remain stronger. Second, it explores long‑term memory efficiency using quantum oracle sketching (QOS), showing that quantum methods can achieve comparable accuracy with a smaller effective memory footprint than explicit storage, suggesting a potential advantage in memory‑efficient data access for streaming classification tasks.

Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are a promising framework for quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices, but their security risks remain insufficiently understood. Studies have shown that QNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, yet existing quantum backdoors mostly rely on a fixed trigger shared by all poisoned inputs.
