Abstract
Quantum computers offer the potential to extend our abilities to tackle computational problems in fields such as number theory, encryption, search and scientific computation. Up to a superpolynomial speedup has been reported for quantum algorithms in these areas. Motivated by the promise of faster computations, the development of quantum machines has caught the attention of both academics and industry researchers. Quantum machines are now at sizes where implementations of quantum algorithms or their components are now becoming possible. In order to implement quantum algorithms on quantum machines, resource efficient circuits and functional blocks must be designed.
This tutorial will cover the following:
1. Introduction and Background on Quantum Computing
2. Quantum Circuits for Galois Field Squaring and Exponentiation
3. Quantum Circuit Design of Arithmetic Circuits
4. Quantum Circuits for Image Processing
5. Concluding Thoughts

Using Power to Uncover the Secrets from Within: A Hands-on Exploration of Side-Channels
Mike Borowczak, University of Wyoming, USA
Abstract
Get hands on experience with Side Channel Attacks from power trace collection to analysis from basic theory to practice. In this session we will cover side channel basics, experiment with different types of power analysis to reveal internal secrets of hardware devices and provide you resources to continue exploration. We’ll look at traditional uses of Side Channel Attacks to exfiltrate keys as well as newer uses focused on extracting other features (e.g., ML models, states, etc). Access to a computing system with Jupyter Notebooks installed is preferred though access to Google Colab might be sufficient. Materials (code/traces) and resources to explore after the tutorial will also be available. This session will be based on materials with an open-source GPL license.
