This paper introduces a rigorous theoretical framework for stochastic quantum neural networks (SQNNs) to enhance adversarial robustness in network intrusion detection. The research proposes a "decoherence-contraction theorem" that quantifies how noise, specifically a depolarizing channel, can contract adversarial perturbations. Experiments on the NSL-KDD dataset demonstrate that SQNNs trained with this noise are significantly more robust against attacks like FGSM and PGD compared to noiseless models, avoiding catastrophic robustness collapse. The study also derives an adaptive-penalty formula for noise regularization, comparing per-gate dropout with depolarizing noise and finding them statistically indistinguishable in reducing the train-test gap.
