In this paper we use quantum machine learning to detect and classify ocular diseases across age related macular degradation, cataract, diabetic, glaucoma, hypertension, and patological myopia categories versus a control group. We analyze fundus imagery from 1000 patients. Early findings indicate there may be benefit in terms of accuracy and loss function minimization of 2.07% and 1.979x respectively compared to a similar method implemented using traditional computers.

Having access to a unique quantum circuit that one wants to protect against use by others is a very likely scenario. However currently users rely on classical computer security schemes, which have known shortcomings. In this chapter we introduce a novel protection scheme along with a survey of other known methods to protect quantum information. In particular we review physically unclonable functions (PUFs), obfuscation, and introduce quantum logic locking.
