Innovative
methods for information security and fraud prevention are required in today's
digital environment due to the expanding volume of data and the increasing
complexity of cyber threats. The use of quantum computing techniques to improve
fraud detection and classification systems is investigated in this study. The
study's machine learning framework integrates three distinct quantum algorithms
to improve classification techniques. The first technique uses a Pauli feature
map and a Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) that leverages a quantum
kernel to transform classical input into quantum states. The second technique
use a ZZ feature map with "linear" entanglement and a support vector
classifier model, utilizing quantum kernels to enhance quantum systems. The
third method utilizes Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC) with actual
amplitudes, which integrate quantum and conventional machine learning
techniques to provide optimized classification. The best results were obtained
by the QSVC using ZZ feature maps and linear entanglement, which had a
precision of 1.0 and a notable decrease in false positives. In order to improve
fraud detection systems' accuracy and dependability and offer strong solutions
to financial institutions, this study shows how quantum computing has the
potential to completely transform cybersecurity.
