As quantum computing advances\ntoward broader commercial deployment, proprietary quantum algorithms and\ncircuits may represent increasingly valuable intellectual property. Quantum\ncircuits are optimized and decomposed into elementary gates before being\nexecuted on quantum hardware, including through third-party or cloud-based\nquantum computing environments. This process may create potential exposure of\nproprietary quantum designs to unauthorized access, copying or redistribution.\n\nQuantumQ Security’s patent submission seeks to establish a method for\nembedding identifiable ownership information within quantum technology through\nthe decomposition of Weyl, or KAK, coordinates in two-qubit blocks. The\nobjective is to enable an owner to subsequently verify ownership while seeking\nto limit the computational overhead and fidelity degradation that can arise\nfrom certain existing watermarking techniques.\n\nWatermarking in this context refers to modifying a quantum computation in a\ncontrolled manner so that an embedded signature can be associated with an\nauthorized owner. Unlike conventional digital watermarking, quantum\nwatermarking must operate within the unique constraints of quantum\ncomputation, where additional gates and increased circuit depth can introduce\nadditional noise and potentially reduce execution fidelity.\n\nThis challenge is particularly relevant to Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum\n(“NISQ”) systems, where quantum resources remain constrained and qubits\nare susceptible to errors. Security mechanisms intended for these systems\ntherefore need to consider not only their ability to establish ownership, but\nalso their potential effect on circuit depth, two-qubit gate counts and\noverall performance. The Company believes that the ability to establish and\nverify ownership of proprietary quantum technology could become increasingly\nimportant as quantum computing evolves toward cloud-based and distributed\nmodels in which developers may execute proprietary algorithms on quantum\ninfrastructure controlled by third parties.\n\nThe patent submission forms part of QuantumQ Security’s broader strategy of\ndeveloping security technologies specifically for the emerging quantum\ncomputing ecosystem. Rather than focusing solely on adapting classical\ncybersecurity methods to address quantum-related threats, QuantumQ Security is\ndeveloping technologies intended to use the properties and architecture of\nquantum systems themselves as part of the security framework.\n\n“As quantum computing becomes increasingly commercialized, proprietary\nquantum algorithms and the circuits implementing them could become highly\nvaluable intellectual property,” said Prof. Nir Sharon, Chief Technology\nScientist of Quantum X Labs. “A developer may eventually need to send\nproprietary quantum technology to computing infrastructure that it does not\nown or control. Our work is focused on creating a mechanism through which\nownership can effectively travel with that technology, while seeking to\nminimize the computational burden associated with that protection.”\n\nThe patent submission represents another component of QuantumQ Security’s\ndeveloping multi-layer quantum security architecture, which is focused on\ndetection, protection and verification across the quantum computing lifecycle.\n\nQuantum X Labs intends to continue the theoretical evaluation, simulation and\ntesting of the watermarking technology as part of its development process.\n\nAbout Quantum X Labs Inc.\n\nQuantum X Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries are focused on quantum technology,\ndigital advertising and computing and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI)\nsolutions.
