Quantum Threat Detection Algorithm

Six-phase quantum algorithm combining Grover's search, quantum walks, and amplitude estimation for comprehensive threat intelligence.

Algorithm Steps

1. State Initialization

Encode network baseline into quantum superposition: |ψ⟩ = Σ α_i|threat_i⟩

2. Threat Space Search

Apply Grover's algorithm for O(√N) signature matching across IOC database

3. Network Graph Analysis

Quantum walk on topology graph detects lateral movement: W|ψ⟩ = U·S·U†|ψ⟩

4. Anomaly Amplitude Estimation

QAE measures threat probability: P(threat) = |⟨threat|ψ⟩|²

5. Response Optimization

QAOA minimizes containment cost: argmin_x C(x) subject to security constraints

6. Continuous Learning

VQE updates threat model: E_threat = ⟨ψ|H_threat|ψ⟩
