Hackers May Exploit Quantum Computers Without Detection

Quick Summary

• Researchers warn that hackers might “vandalize” quantum computer outputs, causing programs to produce incorrect results without users noticing.
• The risk is heightened when quantum computers are shared among multiple users, which is a practical necessity due to their high costs.
• Customary supercomputers have robust security mechanisms to prevent interference among users; quantum systems, though, need similar safeguards as they grow in size and shared usage.
• Manufacturers of quantum computers are urged to address existing vulnerabilities to prevent potential exploitation.
