The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program to the University of California, Merced. The grant, with a project period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028, focuses on developing a usable and attack-resistant security framework for quantum emulators. Quantum emulation is a critical technique for exploring complex problems in physics, chemistry, and other domains, but it is vulnerable to disruptions and cyberattacks, especially when performed on cloud-based systems. This project will characterize the effects of cyberattacks on quantum Ising models, develop a theoretical framework to describe and validate such attacks through quantum emulation, and create end-to-end security validation and monitoring tools. The goal is to build critical trust in quantum technologies and lay the foundation for secure quantum computing in emerging scientific research areas.
