Universality is a key hypothesis in mechanistic interpretability -- that different models learn similar features and circuits when trained on similar tasks. In this work, we study the universality hypothesis by examining how small neural…

Voltage peaks on a conventional computer's power lines allow for the well-known dangerous DPA attacks. We show that measurement of a quantum computer's transient state during a computational step reveals information about a complete…

Construction of explicit quantum circuits follows the notion of the "standard circuit model" introduced in the solid and profound analysis of elementary gates providing quantum computation. Nevertheless the model is not always optimal (e.g.…

A major challenge in quantum computing is to solve general problems with limited physical hardware. Here, we implement digitized adiabatic quantum computing, combining the generality of the adiabatic algorithm with the universality of the…

We introduce and investigate forgetting 1-limited automata, which are single-tape Turing machines that, when visiting a cell for the first time, replace the input symbol in it by a fixed symbol, so forgetting the original contents. These…

Instead of producing quantum languages that are fit for current quantum computers, we build a language from standard classical assembler and augment it with quantum capabilities so that quantum algorithms become a subset of it. This paves…
