Innovative Resilience Frameworks in QAIS: CRQC–LLM & QALIS
Purpose
Define a cohesive method to design quantum AI systems that are scalable, interpretable, and secure—treating quantum effects (coherence, entanglement, measurement) as architectural primitives tightly linked to learning, governance, and verification.
Two Lenses
CRQC–LLM (adversarial stress-test lens) examines how quantum capability and automated AI reconnaissance may pressure-test trust. QALIS (constructive counter-architecture) embeds resilience so sensing, learning, and inference remain verifiable under stress.
QAIS Context
The frameworks operate within QAIS (Quantum AI Systems): a system-of-systems that spans physical substrates, protocol layers, learning/inference, and cognitive governance—ensuring technical performance aligns with safety and interpretability goals.
CRQC — Capabilities
Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers can undermine classical cryptography and trust anchors under certain assumptions. In this model, CRQC represents the capability vector that elevates attack surface and recovery requirements across stacks.
- Potential cryptanalytic advantage against legacy schemes
- State-space exploration that challenges verification
- Acceleration of certain discovery/optimization paths
LLM — Adversary Automation
Large Language Models automate reconnaissance and orchestration: synthesizing exploits, chaining tools, and adapting prompts to evolve attacks—at scales infeasible for manual actors.
- Automated recon + playbook generation
- Tool-assisted chaining and decision pipelines
- Rapid iteration under feedback (self-refinement)
CRQC–LLM Overview
The composite CRQC–LLM lens models convergent stress: quantum capability plus AI automation. It provides a structured way to test where architectures fail—and how to instrument them for early detection and recovery.
QALIS — Overview
QALIS (Quantum Artificial Learning & Inference System) is the constructive counter-model. It reframes quantum phenomena as learning primitives and designs for interpretable, auditable pipelines across physical, algorithmic, and cognitive layers.
QALIS — Mechanisms
- Verification, error-mitigation, and calibration loops
- Hybrid quantum–classical feature extraction and inference
- Policy-aligned governance and human oversight
- Telemetry for model introspection and post-hoc audit
Stress-Test Dimensions
- Physical: coherence budgets, noise spectra, control faults
- Protocol: teleportation, measurement, ECC & verification
- Learning: distribution shift, adversarial prompts, drift
- Cognitive: oversight, interpretability, ethics-by-design
Outcome: architectures that remain resilient, explainable, and verifiable under adversarial and operational stress.
