• Abstract summary: We develop quantum protocols for anomaly detection and apply them to the task of credit card fraud detection. At 20 qubits we reach the quantum-classical separation of average precision being equal to 15%. We discuss the prospects of fraud detection with near- and mid-term quantum hardware, and describe possible future improvements.

• Abstract: We develop quantum protocols for anomaly detection and apply them to the task of credit card fraud detection (FD). First, we establish classical benchmarks based on supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods, where average precision is chosen as a robust metric for detecting anomalous data. We focus on kernel-based approaches for ease of direct comparison, basing our unsupervised modelling on one-class support vector machines (OC-SVM). Next, we employ quantum kernels of different type for performing anomaly detection, and observe that quantum FD can challenge equivalent classical protocols at increasing number of features (equal to the number of qubits for data embedding). Performing simulations with registers up to 20 qubits, we find that quantum kernels with re-uploading demonstrate better average precision, with the advantage increasing with system size. Specifically, at 20 qubits we reach the quantum-classical separation of average precision being equal to 15%. We discuss the prospects of fraud detection with near- and mid-term quantum hardware, and describe possible future improvements.

• Semisupervised Anomaly Detection using Support Vector Regression with Quantum Kernel [0.0]
  Anomaly detection (AD) involves identifying observations or events that deviate in some way from the rest of the data. This paper introduces an approach to semisupervised AD based on the reconstruction loss of a support vector regression (SVR) with quantum kernel. It is shown that our SVR model with quantum kernel performs better than the SVR with RBF kernel as well as all other models, achieving highest mean AUC over all data sets.

  We propose a new strategy for anomaly detection at the LHC based on unsupervised quantum machine learning algorithms.

We demonstrate that the observed consistent performance advantage is related to the inherent quantum properties of the circuit used.
