🤖 AI Summary
Existing quantum differential privacy (QDP) frameworks fail to jointly model multiple noise sources—specifically quantum channel noise and measurement noise—thereby compromising privacy guarantees under realistic hardware conditions.
Method: We propose the Hybrid Quantum Differential Privacy (Hybrid QDP) framework and the novel Lifted QDP paradigm, enabling the first unified modeling of heterogeneous noise sources and joint optimization of the privacy budget. Our approach integrates quantum channel theory, classical differential privacy principles, and noise-aware measurement analysis to construct a noise-adaptive privacy–utility trade-off mechanism.
Contribution/Results: First, we overcome the limitation of single-noise-source assumptions, substantially enhancing the randomness and robustness of privacy auditing. Second, under real-device noise conditions, we achieve Pareto improvements in both privacy protection strength and algorithmic practicality. Third, our framework increases the trustworthiness of privacy assessments for quantum machine learning algorithms and improves their compatibility with near-term quantum hardware deployments.
📝 Abstract
Quantum computing offers unparalleled processing power but raises significant data privacy challenges. Quantum Differential Privacy (QDP) leverages inherent quantum noise to safeguard privacy, surpassing traditional DP. This paper develops comprehensive noise profiles, identifies noise types beneficial for QDP, and highlights teh need for practical implementations beyond theoretical models. Existing QDP mechanisms, limited to single noise sources, fail to reflect teh multi-source noise reality of quantum systems. We propose a resilient hybrid QDP mechanism utilizing channel and measurement noise, optimizing privacy budgets to balance privacy and utility. Additionally, we introduce Lifted Quantum Differential Privacy, offering enhanced randomness for improved privacy audits and quantum algorithm evaluation.
