Lunch In Theory This Thursday (12:00, 10/16, GCS 502c)

[Devansh Gupta]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed heads-up! Please join us for Lunch in Theory this Thursday 10/2 at 12:00 PM in GCS 502c. 

Reminder: Please bring your own lunch, as lunch will not be provided.

This week we have Miryam Huang giving her talk on Quantum State Obfuscation for Unitary Quantum Programs. Please find the title and abstract attached.

We look forward to having you all in the talk.

Best,

Devansh

Title: Quantum State Obfuscation for Unitary Quantum Programs

Abstract: Program obfuscation aims to hide the inner workings of a program while preserving its functionality. In the quantum setting, recent works have obtained obfuscation schemes for specialized classes of quantum circuits. For instance, Bartusek, Brakerski, and Vaikuntanathan (STOC 2024) constructed a quantum state obfuscation scheme, which supports the obfuscation of quantum programs represented as quantum states for pseudo-deterministic quantum programs with classical inputs and outputs in the classical oracle model.
In this work, we improve upon existing results by constructing the first quantum state obfuscation scheme for unitary quantum programs supporting quantum inputs and outputs in the classical oracle model.
