Quantum-Enhanced Adversarial Robustness in Artificial Intelligence
Jaydip Sen
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has achieved remarkable success across diverse application domains; however, its vulnerability to adversarial attacks poses significant challenges to reliability, security, and trustworthiness. Adversarial machine learning demonstrates that even highly accurate models can be manipulated through carefully crafted perturbations, raising serious concerns in safety-critical systems such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous technologies. In parallel, quantum computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm capable of addressing complex computational problems through principles such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference. The convergence of these fields has led to the emergence of Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI), which explores how quantum techniques can enhance learning efficiency, scalability, and robustness. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of adversarial machine learning and existing defense strategies, followed by an accessible introduction to quantum computing and quantum machine learning models.
