Verifiable Quantumness

Definition

Verifiable quantumness refers to the ability to definitively demonstrate that a computation was executed using genuine quantum properties. This concept involves providing cryptographic proofs or other verifiable evidence that a quantum computer has indeed performed a task utilizing quantum phenomena, rather than merely simulating it classically. It also concerns verifying the correctness of the quantum computation’s output. Establishing verifiable quantumness is crucial for confirming the capabilities and security implications of quantum devices.
