0000 A hybrid quantum-classical framework detects anomalies in network data by integrating quantum and classical neural networks. Data acquisition collects user inputs and network traffic, forming a raw dataset preprocessed with SHA3 hashing and SPHINCS+ quantum-safe signatures for integrity. Quantum encoding with BB84 QKD and CNOT gate entanglement secures quantum transfers, while a quantum neural network validates data, normalizes it, and applies amplitude encoding to extract features using variational quantum circuits with RY/RZ gates, optimized via gradient descent. A variational quantum recurrent network with quantum memory classifies anomalies, thresholding scores at 0.9 to generate severity-ranked alerts. A classical convolutional neural network analyzes spatial patterns, with a multi-translation layer fusing quantum and classical outputs. An integration module combines results, adjusts circuit depth, monitors latency, and logs anomalies to persistent storage, ensuring real-time, comprehensive anomaly detection across diverse network environments.
