With the development of quantum computing, the application of quantum neural networks will be more and more extensive, and its security will also face more challenges. Although quantum communication has high security, quantum neural networks may have many internal and external insecure factors in the process of information transmission, such as noise impact during the preparation of input quantum states, privacy disclosure during transmission, and external attacks on the network structure, which may cause major security incidents. Because of the possible insecurity factors of quantum neural networks, this paper proposes a quantum sampling method to detect the state of quantum neural networks at each stage, so as to judge whether there are security risks in quantum neural networks and thus ensure their security. The method also provides a safe basis for further research on the stability and reliability of quantum neural networks.
