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.

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.

Encryptability As a Coordinate Choice: Depth-One Homomorphic Federated Learning of Quantum Neural Networks

The paper demonstrates that by choosing unit‑quaternion coordinates, encrypted updates for variational quantum circuits become bilinear, allowing depth‑one homomorphic federated learning without bootstrapping. This coordinate choice reduces encrypted rotation updates to a single multiplicative level and federated averaging to zero levels, eliminating the previously prohibitive cost of one round per gate. Experiments across two cryptographic backends and up to 20 clients show negligible aggregation error and no measurable loss in utility, with hardware validation on a 156‑qubit processor achieving near‑optimal fidelity.
