Quantum Bayesian Inference with State Vectors for Intrusion Detection
Keywords:
demonstrate, interpretability, structureAbstract
We present a quantum Bayesian inference method for intrusion detection, using explicitly constructed quantum circuits and statevector simulation. Prior and conditional probabilities are encoded via unitary gates, and posterior distributions are extracted through symbolic post-selection. Applied to a scenario with network spikes, system vulnerabilities, and false alarms, the method yields joint, marginal, and conditional probabilities aligned with causal structure. Our results demonstrate the feasibility and interpretability of quantum-native inference for information security applications.
