How Quantum Is the Advantage? A Fair, Calibration- and Noise-Aware Benchmark and Attribution Audit of Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection
A preprint on arXiv introduces a benchmark and attribution audit for quantum machine learning models applied to network intrusion detection. It tests claimed quantum advantages against fair classical baselines under calibration and noise-aware conditions. The work focuses on separating genuine quantum benefits from artifacts of evaluation choices.

Security research groups could adopt this benchmark to gate QML proposals, requiring any quantum model to show calibration- and noise-adjusted improvement over classical baselines before further investment.
The audit protocol is openly available and addresses a known gap in QML evaluation, so groups working on intrusion detection can integrate it into model selection within existing development cycles.
