DQC Seminar Series: Certified Randomness from a Trapped-Ion Quantum Processor

Chesterfield Atrium, 701 W Main St

Abstract: Recently, an experiment using a quantum processor realized a protocol for 'Certified Randomness', generating remotely verifiable randomness appealing for applications involving mutually untrusting parties. This protocol builds on the success of pushing the ability of quantum computers to perform beyond-classical computational tasks and leverages the classical hardness of sampling from random quantum circuits to […]
