The paper presents a non‑invasive, cloud‑based migration strategy that protects legacy smart HVAC controllers from quantum attacks without modifying the devices or vendor cloud. It introduces a Raspberry Pi 4B gateway that performs post‑quantum key encapsulation (ML‑KEM‑768) and authentication (ML‑DSA‑65) using AES‑256‑GCM, completing handshakes in 2.48 ms and sustaining 443 sessions per second. Extensive side‑channel testing shows no timing leakage or man‑in‑the‑middle vulnerabilities, and the architecture is vendor‑agnostic, becoming redundant once native PQC support is adopted.

The paper investigates how quantum network controllers should estimate the end‑to‑end fidelity of entanglement paths, comparing analytical computation, simulation, and learned surrogate models. It highlights that while simple scenarios allow analytical composition, stochastic memory effects require simulation, and lightweight learned models can approximate simulation outputs with lower runtime cost. The authors propose a compute/simulate/learn framework and demonstrate it with a simulation‑based proof of concept, outlining open challenges for real‑world deployment.

The broadcast nature of wireless channels exposes radio-frequency (RF) networks to anomalous and malicious transmissions, making anomaly detection a fundamental requirement for secure spectrum management. Quantum Kitchen Sinks (QKS) offer a lightweight hybrid quantum feature map suitable for near-term quantum devices, yet their behavior on structured signal data remains poorly understood.
