QML-PipeGuard: Detecting Channel-Substitution Attacks on Quantum Machine Learning Pipelines in Untrusted Clouds
Research proposes a detection framework for channel-substitution attacks on quantum ML pipelines running in untrusted clouds, flagging an emerging trust gap as QML-as-a-service scales.

arXiv:2605.25066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As machine-learning workloads move onto quantum hardware they inherit a trust problem classical AI deployments have largely solved and quantum ones have not: quantum machine learning (QML) is already sold as a cloud service, and a customer cannot check that the circuit they paid for is actually the circuit that ran. We show the gap is exploitable. A malicious or cost-cutting provider can substitute the declared quantum channel with one t
Editorial Analysis
As quantum computing services become commercially available, enterprises evaluating QML workloads need to understand that classical cloud trust models do not transfer directly.
