Quantum computing is under rapid development, and today there are several cloud-based,
quantum computers (QCs) of modest size (> 100s of physical qubits). Although these QCs …

When a beam of incident light waves is sent onto a scattering material, the waves are
scattered within the material and the output is a scrambled speckle pattern. By placing a slab …

In this work, we present two new methods for Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) Process
Tomography onto $ n $ qubits systems: PT_VQC and U-VQSVD. Compared to the state of …

The impossibility of creating perfect identical copies of unknown quantum systems is a
fundamental concept in quantum theory and one of the main non-classical properties of …

Due to increasing numbers of product piracy worldwide, a cost-effective method for verifying
the origin of a product is to be developed. For this purpose, a certificate of authenticity can …

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) provide a unique'fingerprint'to a physical entity by
exploiting the inherent physical randomness. However, most of the current day PUFs are …

Quantum cryptography has been largely defined as a novel form of cryptography that would
not rely on any computational hardness assumption. However, as the field progresses, and …

Phosphors that exhibit persistent luminescence (PersL) open up new possibilities for
smartphone-based sensing and anti-counterfeiting applications. With a smartphone video …

Physical unclonable functions (PUF) are a promising solution for digital encryption in the
physical layer [1]. A PUF takes advantage of the large number of degrees of freedom of a …

Hardware security primitives are hardware-based fundamental components and
mechanisms used to enhance the security of modern computing systems in general. These …
