On the Cryptographic Structure Required for Verifying Qubits

Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classically testing for the presence of anti-commuting operators on a quantum device is a critical tool underpinning recent progress in classical verification of quantum computation. While such tests can be based on cryptographic assumptions, known constructions rely on highly structured assumptions, e.g. trapdoor claw-free functions. In this work, we seek to explain this state of affairs by constructing strong cryptography from (certain forms of) classical...
