Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore a comprehensive lecture on the classical verification of quantum computations delivered by Urmila Mahadev from UC Berkeley. Delve into the challenges of quantum computation, comparing classical and quantum computers, and examine verification methods through interactive proofs. Learn about relaxations and verification using post-quantum cryptography, focusing on core primitives and superposition creation. Understand the verification outline, including Hadamard and standard basis measurements, and the measurement protocol definition and soundness. Investigate the quantum analogue of NP and verification with a quantum verifier. Study the measurement protocol construction, testing, and delegation of Hadamard and standard basis measurements. Gain insights into soundness intuition, hardcore bit properties, and the process of proving soundness in the measurement protocol.
