Quantum Computer Security in NISQ and FTQC Eras

Cloud-based access to quantum computers may make these systems vulnerable to novel security attacks, both for users and for cloud providers. In this context, the talk will introduce the emerging work on the security of quantum computing: what present security threats exist, what possible defenses exist, and how to help develop secure-by-design quantum computers. The talk will explore both security issues in NISQ quantum computers and the emergent FTQC quantum computers.
