Priority Observation Targets
For this year's observational and quantum hardware-based experiments, the following four points will be prioritized for analysis and testing.
-
Regions where 0x00 values appear in succession
Reason: These regions can be interpreted as constraint-based optimization problems under quantum annealing. Areas with frequent 0x00 values tend to be identified as "local energy minima" and may function as attractive targets for attack. - Sections that rely solely on partial hash matches as the basis for verification
Reason: Due to the reduction of avalanche effect, the precision of AI-based heatmap analysis increases. Combined with quantum walks or annealing, there is a risk of focused pattern discovery in those spaces. - Verification of whether post-quantum cryptography is functioning as intended
Reason: It is necessary to quantitatively evaluate the level of resistance through real-device experiments, especially in regard to reversible quantum computations (such as walks and iterative methods). - Reevaluation of address space freedom
Reason: If address generation logic introduces a quantum-biased free space, such regions may become smooth energy valleys in quantum annealing, making them prime candidates for targeted optimization.
