With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, cybersecurity threats have evolved, giving rise to adversarial quantum attacks. These attacks exploit the vulnerabilities of AI models using quantum algorithms, posing a significant risk to data security, model robustness, and decision-making systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of adversarial quantum attacks on AI, analyzing their mechanisms, potential impacts, and countermeasures. It explores how quantum computing can enhance adversarial attacks by accelerating the generation of adversarial examples, breaking cryptographic protections, and undermining AI model integrity. Additionally, the study examines different attack vectors, including quantum-enhanced adversarial perturbations, quantum machine learning (QML) vulnerabilities, and quantum decryption threats. The paper also discusses defensive strategies such as quantum-resistant AI models, quantum cryptographic defenses, and hybrid quantum-classical security frameworks that can mitigate these risks. By evaluating existing research and emerging trends, this review provides insights into the growing intersection of AI security and quantum computing. The findings emphasize the urgent need for robust quantum-aware AI security frameworks to safeguard AI-driven systems in the quantum era. Future research directions include developing quantum-adaptive AI models, post-quantum cryptographic techniques, and real-world applications of quantum-safe AI architectures. This review aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on ensuring AI resilience against adversarial quantum threats, paving the way for a secure and quantum-resistant future.
Artificial Intelligence has achieved remarkable success across diverse application domains.

This book explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, focusing on the urgent need to secure machine learning systems in the face of emerging quantum threats. As quantum computers advance, they expose vulnerabilities in classical cryptographic methods, potentially undermining data integrity, privacy, and trust in AI-driven applications. To address these challenges, this study introduces the concept of post-quantum AI—a framework for integrating quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, Anomaly detection mechanisms, and Resilient machine learning architectures. This book makes three core contributions: it motivates a quantum-era threat model for machine learning (ii) it maps a migration path to standardised post-quantum cryptography Crypto-agile architectures (iii) it presents a defence-in-depth blueprint across the data → training → inference lifecycle that integrates privacy-preserving learning Governance. This work explicitly highlights key contributions, including proposed frameworks, algorithms, and case studies. Future research directions are also outlined to guide continued exploration in this emergent field. The final candidate algorithms from the NIST PQC standardisation process (NIST, 2022–2023) further strengthen this discussion. Key themes include the foundations of quantum mechanics relevant to computation, the fundamental differences between classical and quantum computing, and the transformative potential of quantum algorithms for optimisation, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics. The book highlights case studies spanning drug discovery, finance, mobile networks, and supply chain optimisation, illustrating how quantum-enhanced AI can revolutionise industry while simultaneously raising complex security and ethical concerns. A central focus is the development and deployment of post-quantum cryptography (PQC)), such as lattice-based and hash-based algorithms, to safeguard AI models against adversarial and quantum-accelerated attacks. The discussion extends to adversarial machine learning, explainable AI (XAI), and hybrid classical–quantum systems as strategies for strengthening resilience. The ethical, legal, and regulatory dimensions of post-quantum AI are also examined, emphasising fairness, transparency, accountability, and international cooperation. By combining technical innovations with responsible governance, the book advocates for building trustworthy AI systems that remain robust in the quantum era. Future work includes post-quantum cryptography (PQC) performance benchmarking in ML pipelines Patterns for crypto-agile key management, Assurance methods for privacy-preserving Federated learning as standards, and Implementations that are mature.
