Abstract
Anomaly Detection (AD) is critical in data analysis, particularly within the
domain of IT security. In recent years, Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have
emerged as a powerful tool for AD in large-scale data. In this study, we
explore the potential of quantum ML approaches, specifically quantum kernel
methods, for the application to robust AD. We build upon previous work on
Quantum Support Vector Regression (QSVR) for semisupervised AD by conducting a
comprehensive benchmark on IBM quantum hardware using eleven datasets. Our
results demonstrate that QSVR achieves strong classification performance and
even outperforms the noiseless simulation on two of these datasets. Moreover,
we investigate the influence of - in the NISQ-era inevitable - quantum noise on
the performance of the QSVR. Our findings reveal that the model exhibits
robustness to depolarizing, phase damping, phase flip, and bit flip noise,
while amplitude damping and miscalibration noise prove to be more disruptive.
Finally, we explore the domain of Quantum Adversarial Machine Learning and
demonstrate that QSVR is highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks and that
noise does not improve the adversarial robustness of the model.
