How Hard Is Quantum Advantage? A Cloud Microphysics Stress Test for Variational Quantum Models
Felix Herbort, Ellen Sarauer, Daniel Ohl de Mello +7
Quantum machine learning (QML) could have the potential to leverage advantages of quantum over classical computing but still lacks strong evidence of actual improvements and scalab…
An End-to-End Multi-Stage Kill-Chain Attack on Quantum Neural Networks: Demonstration on Trapped-Ion Hardware
Cedric Brügmann, Daniel Herr, Daniel Ohl de Mello +7
We demonstrate an end-to-end, multi-stage attack against a quantum neural network (QNN) model that is executed on a trapped-ion quantum computer. Our chain combines side-channel re…
Quantum Bayesian Optimization for the Automatic Tuning of Lorenz-96 as a Surrogate Climate Model
Paul J. Christiansen, Daniel Ohl de Mello, Cedric Brügmann +6
In this work, we propose a hybrid quantum-inspired heuristic for automatically tuning the Lorenz-96 model -- a simple proxy to describe atmospheric dynamics, yet exhibiting chaotic…
Entangled Threats: A Unified Kill Chain Model for Quantum Machine Learning Security
Pascal Debus, Maximilian Wendlinger, Kilian Tscharke +7
Quantum Machine Learning (QML) systems inherit vulnerabilities from classical machine learning while introducing new attack surfaces rooted in the physical and algorithmic layers o…
