Abstract
We present the first architecture for a trusted execution environment for quantum computers. In the architecture, to protect the user’s circuits, they are obfuscated with decoy control pulses added during circuit transpilation by the user. The decoy pulses are removed, i.e. attenuated, by the trusted hardware inside the superconducting quantum computer’s fridge before they reach the qubits. This preliminary work demonstrates that protection from possibly malicious cloud providers is feasible with minimal hardware cost.

Research Scientist
I am a Research Scientist at Meta working on Meta’s Generative Ads Recommendation Model (GEM). My focus is on designing and implementing novel transfer learning paradigms to amplify the impact of foundation models within production environments. Additionally, I am working on optimizing the efficiency and performance of GEM’s ecosystem.
Previously, I earned my PhD at Yale University. My research there sat at the intersection of quantum computing and security, where I designed novel attacks and defenses for quantum computers. Before this, I completed my undergraduate studies at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where I studied and researched on theoretical and computational condensed matter physics.
