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.
arXiv:2605. 27923v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rapid growth of computer vision and increasingly complex image recognition tasks has exposed fundamental computational limitations of classical machine learning models, motivating the exploration of quantum computing as an emerging new paradigm.
The paper systematically compares four classical machine learning models—SVM, ANN, CNN, and LSTM—with their quantum equivalents—QSVM, QNN, QCNN, and QLSTM—on simulated proton‑proton collision data from CERN Open Data. Classical models, especially CNN and LSTM, slightly outperform the quantum models under current hardware and dataset constraints, but quantum models achieve comparable accuracy with far fewer trainable parameters; for example, the QCNN matches a deep classical CNN using only four qubits and a depth‑three circuit. The study also shows that the regression task is non‑trivial for shallow polynomial fits, underscoring the relevance of the architectural comparison. whyItMatters":"The work provides a realistic benchmark of classical versus quantum machine learning performance on high‑energy physics data, highlighting parameter‑efficiency advantages of quantum models for near‑term devices."

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.
arXiv:2608. 06846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We test whether a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC) improves a hybrid quantum-classical model's performance on classical datasets, using an interface-matched classical map as the control while holding all other components fixed.
arXiv:2607. 11843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are a promising framework for quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices, but their security risks remain insufficiently understood.
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.
We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.
