• Authors: Andrea Coladangelo, Sam Gunn,
• Abstract summary: We show how to achieve "best-possible" copy protection for all programs. We show that applying qsiO to a program immediately achieves best-possible copy protection. We also show that, assuming injective one-way functions exist, qsiO is concrete copy protection for a large family of puncturable programs.

• Abstract: Quantum copy protection, introduced by Aaronson, enables giving out a quantum program-description that cannot be meaningfully duplicated. Despite over a decade of study, copy protection is only known to be possible for a very limited class of programs. As our first contribution, we show how to achieve "best-possible" copy protection for all programs. We do this by introducing quantum state indistinguishability obfuscation (qsiO), a notion of obfuscation for quantum descriptions of classical programs. We show that applying qsiO to a program immediately achieves best-possible copy protection. Our second contribution is to show that, assuming injective one-way functions exist, qsiO is concrete copy protection for a large family of puncturable programs -- significantly expanding the class of copy-protectable programs. A key tool in our proof is a new variant of unclonable encryption (UE) that we call coupled unclonable encryption (cUE). While constructing UE in the standard model remains an important open problem, we are able to build cUE from one-way functions. If we additionally assume the existence of UE, then we can further expand the class of puncturable programs for which qsiO is copy protection. Finally, we construct qsiO relative to an efficient quantum oracle.

  We propose unclonable puncturable obfuscation (UPO) and study its implications for unclonable cryptography. We present modular (and arguably, simple) constructions of many primitives in unclonable cryptography. We show that any cryptographic functionality can be copy-protected as long as this functionality satisfies a notion of security.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  We build on the no-cloning principle of quantum mechanics and design cryptographic schemes with key-revocation capabilities. We consider schemes where secret keys are represented as quantum states with the guarantee that, once the secret key is successfully revoked from a user, they no longer have the ability to perform the same functionality as before.

  We consider the setting where the two parties (a classical Alice and a quantum Bob) can communicate only via a classical channel. We show that it is in general impossible to realize a two-party quantum functionality with black-box simulation in the case of malicious quantum adversaries. We provide a compiler that takes as input a classical proof of quantum knowledge (PoQK) protocol for a QMA relation R and outputs a zero-knowledge PoQK for R that can be verified by classical parties.
