This workshop will focus on quantum interactive proofs and entangled quantum games. It will include recent advances in our understanding of the complexity class QMIP of multiple entangled provers, as well as QPIP, quantum polynomial time bounded provers. The workshop will also address quantum PCP from an interactive proof perspective.
Enquiries may be sent to the organizers at this address.

Quantum Research at the Simons Institute
The Simons Institute offers a variety of Quantum related programming from the ongoing Quantum Pod to semester long focused Quantum programs and clusters. We host Quantum related workshops, lectures, and activities such as the recurring Quantum Colloquium series and Quantum Industry Day. Much of this is made possible thanks to funding from the Quantum Pod and its grantors.
