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…
Local robust shadows on a trapped ion computer -- a case study
Jadwiga Wilkens, Milena Guevara-Bertsch, Marwa Marso +6
We experimentally demonstrate local robust shadows on a trapped-ion quantum computing system, a protocol developed to counteract measurement errors. We alternate between a calibrat…
Entangling ions with engineered light gradients
Tommaso Faorlin, Lorenz Panzl, Phoebe Grosser +12
Spectral crowding of collective motional modes limits the fidelity of entangling interactions in trapped-ion quantum processors by inducing off-resonant coupling to spectator modes…
Resource-Efficient Hadamard Test Tailored Variational Framework for Nonlinear Dynamics on Quantum Computers
Eleftherios Mastorakis, Muhammad Umer, Milena Guevara-Bertsch +3
Resource-efficient, low-depth implementations of quantum circuits remain a promising strategy for achieving reliable and scalable computation on quantum hardware, as they reduce ga…
Chiplet technology for large-scale trapped-ion quantum processors
Bassem Badawi, Philip C. Holz, Michael Raffetseder +6
Trapped ions are among the most promising platforms for realizing a large-scale quantum information processor. Current progress focuses on integrating optical and electronic compon…
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…
