Abstract

Obfuscation of quantum programs is an emerging research area in cryptography. Previous works have primarily focused on obfuscating quantum programs that implement classical functions. In this talk, I will present recent advances that go beyond this limitation: a new obfuscation scheme capable of handling arbitrary quantum programs that implement unitary transformations, including those with auxiliary quantum states. I will give a high-level overview of the core techniques and discuss where the result might take us next.

Based on joint work with Miryam Huang.
