Quantum Operating System Support for Quantum Trusted Execution Environments (2410.08486v1)

Abstract: With the growing reliance on cloud-based quantum computing, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of quantum computations is paramount. Quantum Trusted Execution Environments (QTEEs) have been proposed to protect users' quantum circuits when they are submitted to remote cloud-based quantum computers. However, deployment of QTEEs necessitates a Quantum Operating Systems (QOS) that can support QTEEs hardware and operation. This work introduces the first architecture for a QOS to support and enable essential steps required for secure quantum task execution on cloud platforms.
