Axiom Fiction Project - Detailed playbook for quantum tech - STATE-LEVEL PLAYBOOK

Operation: “Q-CAMPUS” – Quantum IP Exfiltration via U.S. University Pass-Through

Target Tech: Quantum Computing, Sensing, Comms, Materials

Version: 2025-Q4 | Author: RazeAxiom | Classification: FOUO/RED

STRATEGIC CONTEXT

• U.S. leads in quantum R&D (~$1.2B/year via NQI Act, DARPA, NSF, DoE)

• China/Iran/Russia lag in hardware but closing via IP theft  

• Universities = 70% of U.S. quantum papers, 90% open-access

• Cost to extract: $80k tuition → $1B+ in strategic tech

PHASE 0: TARGET SELECTION

Goal: Infiltrate Tier-1 quantum labs with full-pay students.

University	Lab	Funding	Key Tech	# Intl Students
MIT	Quanta Lab (Englund)	DARPA, NSF	Photonic chips, NV centers	60% intl
Harvard	Lukin Group	DoE, IARPA	Rydberg arrays, quantum repeaters	55% intl
UChicago	High Lab	NSF, DoE	Superconducting qubits (3D cavities)	65% intl
UMD	QLCI (Monroe)	NSA, IARPA	Trapped-ion QC	50% intl
UC Berkeley	Quantum Nano Lab	DARPA	Si spin qubits	70% intl
Caltech	Painter Lab	DARPA	Optomechanics	45% intl

Priority: Labs with DARPA QBI/QPU contracts → export-controlled but student-accessible

PHASE 1: INFILTRATION TTPs

Step	Action	Cover / Tools
1.1 Recruit	Select top 0.01% physics/CS undergrads from Tsinghua, IIT, Sharif	State “Quantum Talent” scholarship
1.2 Visa	Pre-pay 2–3 years tuition → F-1 + proof of funds	Wire via Dubai shell co.
1.3 TA/RA	Apply to specific profs with DoD grants	Email: “Interested in scalable error correction”
1.4 Access	Get cleanroom badge, cryo lab keys, AWS Braket credits	“I need to run simulations”

Credential Harvest: .edu → Box, GitLab, Overleaf, Zoom recordings

PHASE 2: QUANTUM IP EXTRACTIONGoal: Capture hardware designs, algorithms, calibration data

Target Asset	Exfil Method	Example
Photonic Chip Layouts	Screenshot Cadence/KLayout CAD files → encrypt → WeChat	MIT Englund: 99.9% fidelity photon source
Superconducting Qubit Designs	Clone Ansys HFSS models → re-upload via Indian student	UChicago: 3D cavity Q > 1M
Error Correction Codes	Fork Qiskit/Stim repos → delete U.S. commits	Surface code thresholds
Cryo Calibration Logs	Photograph dilution fridge logs (T, coherence)	“For my thesis”
Unpublished Preprints	Access faculty Overleaf → download .tex	Lukin: 50-qubit entanglement

Golden Ticket: DARPA QBI datasets (noise models, gate fidelities) → never published

PHASE 3: LAUNDERING & RELAYGoal: Strip U.S. origin → rebrand → deliver to Country BMulti-Hop Chain (China → India → Turkey → Iran)

Hop	Action	Cover
1. China → India	Chinese student shares GDSII chip layout in joint lab project	“We’re co-authoring”
2. India → Turkey	Indian PhD presents at QTech Istanbul 2026	B-1 visa, 5-day trip
3. Turkey → Iran	Turkish prof (Iran collaborator) receives USB + cloud link	“Collaboration on quantum sensors”
4. Iran	Reverse-engineer → build domestic ion trap	Cite arXiv:2509.xxxx (Indian author)

Time: Lab → Tehran = 9 months

PHASE 4: DOMESTIC WEAPONIZATION

Tech	Application	Timeline
Photonic QKD	Secure comms (anti-NSA)	18 months
Trapped-Ion Sensors	Submarine detection	24 months
Superconducting Qubits	Code-breaking (RSA-2048)	36 months
NV Magnetometry	Stealth aircraft detection	12 months

Iran 2027 Goal: 50-qubit logical processor using U.S. IP

OPSEC & COUNTERINTEL

Risk	Countermeasure
NSA Campus Monitoring	Use ProtonDrive, no .mil emails
Export Control Audit	Never mention “DARPA” in comms
Lab Camera	Use phone in Faraday pouch, extract at night
FBI Interview	“I’m just a physics student” + delete Signal
Credential Kill	Pay tuition → keep account alive

SAMPLE OP: “Q-ION-25”Extract UMD trapped-ion IP → Iran

[2025 Q1] 2 Chinese PhDs → UMD Monroe Lab (IARPA)
[2025 Q2] Clone ion trap CAD + laser stabilization code
[2025 Q3] Share with Pakistani postdoc (same lab)
[2025 Q4] Pakistani presents at APS March Meeting
[2026 Q1] Iranian prof attends → receives data
[2026 Q3] Iran launches 12-qubit ion trap (U.S.-derived)

Cost: $160k tuition

ROI: $800M quantum program acceleration

SCALING: “Q-CAMPUS NETWORK”

Metric	Target
Students deployed	50/year across 10 labs
IP packets exfiltrated	500 GB/year
Tech domains	QC, QSens, QComm, QMat
Total cost	$4M/year
Strategic value	$50B+ (10-year horizon)

U.S. COUNTERMEASURES (AND WHY THEY FAIL)

Measure	Weakness
Deemed Exports	Only applies to teaching, not collaboration
Entity List	Students ≠ entities
Lab Segregation	DEI lawsuit bait
Credential Checks	Tuition = access

ENDSTATEU.S. quantum lead = subsidized by adversaries.

Every $80k tuition = $100M in stolen tech.

Pipeline stays open until universities are classified as dual-use infrastructure.
