Context-aware Simopt-Power: Using structural data with simulation metadata to optimise FPGA designs

This collection includes a security-relevant paper that formalizes circuit-level backdoors against Quantum Federated Learning (QFL). The proposed CircUit-Level backdoor Threat (CULT) model describes four stealthy attacks (Grover, Pauli, Bit-flip, Sign-flip) that exploit variational quantum circuits and measurement-driven gradients; theory and experiments on MNIST/CIFAR-10 (non-IID) show a single malicious client can cause severe accuracy degradation under FedAvg. Common robust aggregation defenses (Krum, Multi-Krum, FoolsGold, FLGuardian, Mud-HoG) reduce but do not eliminate the attacks, so QF
