Summary

The server size now scales with non-Clifford gates rather than the full delegated computation.

Blind quantum computation lets a low-resource client hide a delegated computation, but conventional server resources grow with the whole circuit. By using Pauli-based computation, this protocol makes server size depend only on the non-Clifford gate count. It inherits fault tolerance and qubit virtualization from that model and adds a dual entanglement-based protocol for resource-state computation with lower execution cost. The work is a protocol result, not a hardware deployment.

Why it matters

The server size now scales with non-Clifford gates rather than the full delegated computation.
