Classical and Hybrid Quantum Machine Learning for Trigger-Like Event Selection on CMS Open Data: An Eight-Qubit, PCA-Constrained Benchmark

The paper compares classical and hybrid quantum machine learning models for a trigger-like binary classification task using CMS open data. Eight classical models (SVM, ANN, CNN, LSTM) and eight quantum counterparts are evaluated under identical preprocessing, data splits, and decision thresholds, with performance measured by accuracy, ROC‑AUC, F1‑score, precision, and recall. The best classical model is an artificial neural network (93.53 % accuracy, 0.9819 ROC‑AUC), while the best quantum model is a quantum convolutional network (90.89 % accuracy, 0.9731 ROC‑AUC), indicating that within an eight‑qubit budget the quantum models do not surpass the classical ones.

How Quantum Is the Advantage? A Fair, Calibration- and Noise-Aware Benchmark and Attribution Audit of Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection

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.

Quantum Versus Classical Machine Learning for Neuropsychiatric Disorders: A Feature-Matched Multi-Cohort Evaluation

The study compared six families of quantum machine learning models with classical counterparts using identical correlation-derived features across four large neuroimaging cohorts. Across all cohorts, quantum kernels performed statistically indistinguishable from matched classical kernels, with average accuracy differences within 1.4 percentage points. While a hybrid quantum convolutional network matched classical accuracy and a trainable quantum kernel slightly improved AUC on ABIDE I, overall quantum models did not consistently outperform classical ones, providing a feature‑matched benchmark of 284 comparisons.

Quantum Computing for Network Security Classification: Near-Term Classification and Long-Term Memory Efficiency

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.
