• Abstract: Gentle quantum leakage is proposed as a measure of information leakage to arbitrary eavesdroppers that aim to avoid detection. Gentle (also sometimes referred to as weak or non-demolition) measurements are used to encode the desire of the eavesdropper to evade detection. The gentle quantum leakage meets important axioms proposed for measures of information leakage including positivity, independence, and unitary invariance. Global depolarizing noise, an important family of physical noise in quantum devices, is shown to reduce gentle quantum leakage (and hence can be used as a mechanism to ensure privacy or security). A lower bound for the gentle quantum leakage based on asymmetric approximate cloning is presented. This lower bound relates information leakage to mutual incompatibility of quantum states. A numerical example, based on the encoding in the celebrated BB84 quantum key distribution algorithm, is used to demonstrate the results.

  Barycentric and pairwise quantum Renyi leakages are proposed as measures of information leakage for privacy and security analysis. They satisfy important properties of positivity, independence, post-processing inequality, and unitary invariance. Global and local depolarizing channels, that are common models of noise in quantum computing and communication, restrict private or secure information leakage.

  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.
