Description
Quantum technology has long been considered the future when it comes to faster
computations, simulating nature, or other tasks. Due to the rapid development of
quantum computers, the platforms to access those resources also developed rapidly in
recent years. However, the security risks when using quantum computing platforms are
numerous. In this paper, we consider the secure delegation of quantum computations
to an untrusted server while maintaining the user’s privacy, called Blind Quantum
Computing (BQC). In this context, the input, output as well as the quantum circuit itself
are considered intellectual property of the client. The goal of this thesis is to present
a review and evaluation of existing BQC protocols and apply them to the use case of
quantum platforms. The main aspects which will be evaluated in the application are
practicality and security of the approach.
