Measuring Quantum Information Leakage Under Detection Threat

arXiv:2403.11433v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Gentle quantum leakage is proposed as a measure of information leakage to arbitrary eavesdroppers that aim to avoid detection. Gentle (also sometimes referred to as weak or non-demolition) measurements are used to encode the desire of the eavesdropper to evade detection. The gentle quantum leakage meets important axioms proposed for measures of information leakage including positivity, independence, and unitary invariance. Global depolarizing noise, an important family of physical noise in quantum devices, is shown to …
