Practical Quantum Protocols

Abstract

This is the final report for the AFOSR project ``Practical Quantum Protocols,'' led by PI Alagic and co-PIs Childs and Gorshkov. In the past few years, exciting new theoretical work has resulted in the development of interactive communication protocols taking place between a classical verifier (e.g., an end-user with a laptop) and a quantum prover (e.g., a quantum-capable cloud service), over a classical communication channel (e.g., the Internet.) These protocols have opened up possibilities for completely new functionality, such as verification of quantum-mechanical features and delegation of quantum-computational algorithms. The aim of this three-year project is to improve the state of the art of these protocols, and bring them closer to realistic implementation on near-term and medium-term quantum devices.
