Alex B. Grilo: Recent advances in Zero-knowledge proofs in the quantum setting
Zero-knowledge proofs are a fundamental building block in classical Cryptography,
having far-reaching applications. Recently, there has been some effort in improving
our understanding of Zero-knowledge for quantum complexity classes, that will
hopefully lead us to striking objects as in the classical case. The goal of this talk
is to give an overview of some of such results, in particular:
- All multi-prover system with entangled provers protocols can be made ZK
- Simpler ZK protocols for QMA (which includes the first Proof of Knowledge
ZK protocol and the first Non-interactive ZK protocol in the secret parameters
model).
Such results are achieved through new tools, namely Simulatable codes,
QMA-completeness (under standard Karp reductions) of Consistency of Local
Density Matrices and Simulatable proofs, that could be useful in different
contexts.
This talk is based on a joint work with William Slofstra and Henry Yuen, and on
a joint work with Anne Broadbent.
