Can Quantum Federated Learning Withstand Circuit-Level Backdoors?

Researchers identify critical vulnerabilities in Quantum Federated Learning (QFL) systems through a novel Circuit-Level Backdoor Threat (CULT) model that demonstrates how malicious clients can exploit quantum mechanisms to degrade model accuracy. Existing defense mechanisms fail to fully prevent attacks, with accuracy dropping up to 50% even against popular mitigation strategies like Krum and FLGuardian.

Power to the Clients: Federated Learning in a Dictatorship Setting

Researchers identify a critical vulnerability in federated learning systems where malicious 'dictator clients' can erase other participants' contributions while preserving their own, compromising the collaborative training process. The study provides theoretical and empirical analysis of single and multiple dictator scenarios, revealing fundamental security weaknesses in decentralized machine learning architectures.
