• Abstract: This paper provides an integrated perspective on addressing key challenges in developing reliable and secure Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. In this paper, we present an integrated framework that leverages and combines existing approaches to enhance QNN efficiency, security, and privacy. Specifically, established optimization strategies, including efficient parameter initialization, residual quantum circuit connections, and systematic quantum architecture exploration, are integrated to mitigate issues such as barren plateaus and error propagation. Moreover, the methodology incorporates current defensive mechanisms against adversarial attacks. Finally, Quantum Federated Learning (QFL) is adopted within this framework to facilitate privacy-preserving collaborative training across distributed quantum systems. Collectively, this synthesized approach seeks to enhance the robustness and real-world applicability of QNNs, laying the foundation for reliable quantum-enhanced machine learning applications in finance, healthcare, and cybersecurity.
