AI Security 101
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword; it’s an integral part of our daily lives, powering everything from our search for a perfect meme to critical infrastructure. But as Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben wisely said, “With great power comes…

Why We Seriously Need a Chief AI Security Officer (CAISO)
With AI’s breakneck expansion, the distinctions between ‘cybersecurity’ and ‘AI security’ are becoming increasingly pronounced. While both disciplines aim to safeguard digital assets, their focus and the challenges they address diverge in significant ways. Traditional cybersecurity is primarily about defending…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Quantum Walk QC
Quantum walks are the quantum-mechanical counterparts of classical random walks. In a classical random walk, a "walker" (such as a particle or an agent) moves step by step in a certain space (like a line or a graph) with some…

How to Defend Neural Networks from Trojan Attacks
Neural networks learn from data. They are trained on large datasets to recognize patterns or make decisions. A Trojan attack in a neural network typically involves injecting malicious data into this training dataset. This 'poisoned' data is crafted in such…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Fibonacci Anyons
Fibonacci anyons are a type of non-Abelian anyon – exotic quasiparticles that can exist in two-dimensional systems and have exchange statistics beyond bosons or fermions. When two non-Abelian anyons like Fibonacci anyons are exchanged (braided) in space, the quantum state…

What Will Really Happen Once Q-Day Arrives – When Our Current Cryptography Is Broken?
As the world edges closer to the era of powerful quantum computers, experts warn of an approaching “Q-Day” (sometimes called Y2Q or the Quantum Apocalypse): the day a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break our current encryption. Unlike the Y2K…

Quantum Computing Modalities: QA With Digital Boost (“Bang-Bang” Annealing)
Digital Boost (“Bang-Bang” Annealing) refers to augmenting or replacing the continuous, gradual annealing schedule with discrete pulses or abrupt changes in the control parameters – essentially applying bang–bang control to quantum annealing. In control theory, a bang–bang controller is one…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Dissipative QC (DQC)
Dissipative Quantum Computing (DQC) is a model of quantum computation that leverages open quantum system dynamics – in other words, it uses controlled dissipation (interaction with an environment and irreversible processes) as a resource for computing.

Quantum Computing Modalities: Majorana Qubits
Majorana qubits promise hardware-level error protection through topological physics. Microsoft has spent over a decade and billions of dollars pursuing them. Here's the physics of how they're supposed to work, the full experimental history, and why the evidence remains contested.

Quantum Computing Modalities: Biological QC
Biological Quantum Computing refers to speculative ideas that biological systems might perform quantum computations or that we could harness biological processes to implement quantum computing. This paradigm is highly exploratory and not yet realized in any form, lying at the…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Boson Sampling QC (Gaussian & Non-Gaussian)
Boson Sampling is a specialized, non-universal model of quantum computation where the goal is to sample from the output distribution of indistinguishable bosons (typically photons) that have passed through a passive linear interferometer. In simpler terms, one prepares multiple photons,…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA)
Quantum Cellular Automata are an abstract paradigm of quantum computing where space and time are discrete and quantum information processing happens in many parallel identical cells interacting with neighbors under a uniform rule. It’s a quantum counterpart to classical cellular…

Quantum Computing Modalities: Time Crystals’ Potential QC Use
Time crystals are an exotic state of matter that spontaneously breaks time-translation symmetry, meaning the system’s lowest-energy state exhibits periodic motion in time. This is analogous to how ordinary crystals break spatial translation symmetry by arranging atoms in a repeating…

Will the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) beat Japan to Society 5.0?
Ask most people what they remember from 2016 – if they remember anything at all – and there are usually two big events that float to the front of their minds: Britain voted to leave the European Union and the…

Quantum Computing Modalities: DNA-Based QIP
DNA-based quantum information processing envisions using DNA – the molecule of life – in roles within a quantum computer. This could mean DNA acting as qubits, facilitating quantum interactions, or serving as a structural scaffold for other qubits. It's an…
