Demonstration of Interactive Protocols for Classically-Verifiable Quantum Advantage

ORAL

Abstract



In interactive protocols, a verifier uses interactive challenges to verify that the prover’s computational capability is beyond the classical limit. Since the prover’s response to these challenges can be efficiently tested by the verifier with only classical computers, these protocols provide a loophole-free approach to the demonstration of quantum advantage.  We experimentally demonstrate on an ion-trap quantum computer all branches of the quantum operations needed for two variations of such protocols, and present our progress towards realizing real-time interactivity between verifier and prover in the protocols.
