Enhancements to Quantum Circuit Security Against Attacks

/ 1 min read

🛡️⚛️ New transpiler modifications enhance quantum circuit security against side-channel attacks. Researchers propose a novel approach to quantum computer transpilers that aims to protect against side-channel attacks, which can reveal sensitive information about quantum circuits. By selectively shielding certain gates, the method allows for the entire circuit’s information to be concealed while maintaining a linear growth in circuit depth based on the architecture of the quantum computer. The study includes practical implementations on IBM’s quantum systems, showcasing the use of virtual gates and transpiler modifications to bolster security. This advancement could significantly improve the resilience of quantum computing against potential vulnerabilities.
