• Abstract: Differential privacy has been an exceptionally successful concept when it comes to providing provable security guarantees for classical computations. More recently, the concept was generalized to quantum computations. While classical computations are essentially noiseless and differential privacy is often achieved by artificially adding noise, near-term quantum computers are inherently noisy and it was observed that this leads to natural differential privacy as a feature. In this work we discuss quantum differential privacy in an information theoretic framework by casting it as a quantum divergence. A main advantage of this approach is that differential privacy becomes a property solely based on the output states of the computation, without the need to check it for every measurement. This leads to simpler proofs and generalized statements of its properties as well as several new bounds for both, general and specific, noise models. In particular, these include common representations of quantum circuits and quantum machine learning concepts. Here, we focus on the difference in the amount of noise required to achieve certain levels of differential privacy versus the amount that would make any computation useless. Finally, we also generalize the classical concepts of local differential privacy, Renyi differential privacy and the hypothesis testing interpretation to the quantum setting, providing several new properties and insights.

  In classical computing, we can incorporate the concept of differential privacy (DP) to meet the standard of privacy preservation. In the quantum computing scenario, researchers have extended classic DP to quantum differential privacy (QDP) by considering the quantum noise. We show that shot noise can effectively provide privacy protection in quantum computing.

  We consider the setting where the two parties (a classical Alice and a quantum Bob) can communicate only via a classical channel. We show that it is in general impossible to realize a two-party quantum functionality with black-box simulation in the case of malicious quantum adversaries. We provide a compiler that takes as input a classical proof of quantum knowledge (PoQK) protocol for a QMA relation R and outputs a zero-knowledge PoQK for R that can be verified by classical parties.

  Noise in quantum information processing is often viewed as a disruptive and difficult-to-avoid feature, especially in near-term quantum technologies. We show that by taking advantage of depolarisation noise in quantum circuits for classification, a robustness bound against adversaries can be derived. This is the first quantum protocol that can be used against the most general adversaries.
