Researchers have developed Q-DIBA, the first input-aware dynamic backdoor attack specifically designed for Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs). This new attack method addresses challenges in transferring classical dynamic backdoor techniques to the quantum domain, such as measurement compression and fluctuating quantum states. Q-DIBA utilizes a novel three-mode mini-batch strategy and an ensemble density contrastive loss to achieve high attack success rates while maintaining clean accuracy on datasets like MNIST and Fashion-MNIST. The attack has demonstrated resilience against common defenses, highlighting a significant security threat for the deployment of QNNs. AI
