The advancements in quantum computing and the potential for polynomial-time solutions to traditional public key cryptography (i.e., Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC)) using Shor's algorithm pose a serious threat to the security of pre-quantum blockchain technologies. This paper proposes an efficient quantum-safe blockchain that incorporates new quantum-safe consensus algorithms. We integrate post-quantum signature schemes into the blockchain's transaction signing and verification processes to enhance resistance against quantum attacks. Specifically, we employ the Falcon signature scheme, which was selected during the NIST post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardization process. Although the integration of the post-quantum signature scheme results in a reduction in the blockchain's transactions per second (TPSs), we introduce efficient approaches to mitigate this performance degradation. Our proposed post-quantum delegated proof of luck (PQ-DPoL) combines a proof of luck (PoL) mechanism with a delegated approach, ensuring quantum resistance, energy efficiency, and fairness in block generation. Experimental results demonstrate that while post-quantum cryptographic algorithms like Falcon introduce larger signature sizes and slower processing times, the PQ-DPoL algorithm effectively balances security and performance, providing a viable solution for secure blockchain operations in a post-quantum era.
The deployment of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently under standardization by NIST have the potential to mitigate quantum computer based attacks, which present a whole new range of cybersecurity challenge...

quantum noise is one of the most profound obstacles to implementing large-scale quantumalgorithms and schemes. In particular, the dynamical process by which quantum noise, varying in strength from 0 to critical levels, affects and destroys quantum advantage has not been well understood. Meanwhile, correlation generation serves as a precious theoretical model for informationprocessing tasks, where quantum advantage can be precisely quantified. In this study, we show that this model provides valuable insights into the understanding of this dynamical process. We prove that, as the strength of quantum noise continuously increases from 0, the quantum advantage diminishes gradually and eventually vanishes. Unexpectedly, in some cases, we observe the phenomenon of a sudden death of quantum advantage: When the noise strength exceeds a certain threshold, the quantum advantage abruptly disappears from a substantial level. This phenomenon, once again, reveals the tremendous impact of noise on quantuminformationprocessing tasks.

This work introduces the use of a variational quantum circuit in order to perform unitary decomposition of a quantum operator. By use of classical optimization techniques and exploiting correlations and entanglement, the variational quantum circuit is able to translate a wide range of quantumalgorithms, including the Toffoli gate and random unitary. A case study is also presented, where this decomposition is used to decompose a unitary matrix arise from a classification task.

The preparation and computation of many properties of quantum Gibbs states is essential for algorithms such as quantum semidefinite programming and quantum Boltzmann machines. We propose a quantum algorithm that can predict M linear functions of an arbitrary Gibbs state with only O(log M) experimental measurements. Our main insight is that for sufficiently large systems we do not need to prepare the n-qubit mixed Gibbs state explicitly but, instead, we can evolve a random n-qubit pure state in imaginary time. The result then follows by constructing classical shadows of these random pure states. We propose a quantum circuit that implements this algorithm by using quantum signal processing for the imaginary time evolution. We numerically verify the efficiency of the algorithm by simulating the circuit for a ten-spin-1/2 XXZ-Heisenberg model. In addition, we show that the algorithm can be successfully employed as a subroutine for training an eight-qubit fully connected quantum Boltzmann machine.

Controlled quantum gates play a crucial role in enabling quantum universal operations by facilitating interactions between qubits. Direct implementation of three-qubit gates simplifies the design of quantum circuits, thereby being conducive to performing complex quantumalgorithms. Here, we propose and present an experimental demonstration of a quantum Toffoli gate fully exploiting the polarization and orbital angular momentum of a single photon. The Toffoli gate is implemented using the polarized diffractive neural networks scheme, achieving a mean truth table visibility of 97.27±0.20%. We characterize the gate’s performance through quantum state tomography on 216 different input states and quantum process tomography, which yields a process fidelity of 94.05±0.02%. Our method offers a novel approach for realizing the Toffoli gate without requiring exponential optical elements while maintaining extensibility to the implementation of other three-qubit gates.
