Abstract
Fingerprinting of quantum computer devices is a new threat that poses a challenge to shared, cloud-based quantum computers. Fingerprinting can allow adversaries to map quantum computer infras-tructures, uniquely identify cloud-based devices which otherwise have no public identifiers, and it can assist other adversarial attacks. This work shows idle tomography-based fingerprinting method based on crosstalk-induced errors in NISQ quantum computers. The device- and locality-specific fingerprinting results show prediction accuracy values of 99 . 1% and 95 . 3%, respectively.
