Researchers have developed BadQubits, a framework utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect harmful quantum circuits before execution. This system analyzes OpenQASM 2.0 circuits to identify physical-execution-layer threats, which are difficult to detect during runtime due to measurement irreversibility and simulation costs. A fine-tuned Qwen Coder 2.5 7B model achieved 92.67% classification accuracy and 96.1% recall for harmful circuits, outperforming a bag-of-gates CNN in identifying specific threat features like SWAP density and measurement timing.
