Abstract

The chapter delves into the quantum analog of the PCP theorem, known as the quantum PCP conjecture (qPCP), and its significant implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics. It introduces quantum Interactive Oracle Proofs (qIOP) as a relaxation of the qPCP conjecture, presenting two distinct constructions based on different technical approaches. The first construction is based on teleportation and the use of a PCP of proximity, while the second protocol employs a multi-qubit test to delegate measurements to the prover and classical PCP techniques. The chapter also explores the potential of qIOPs for developing quantum succinct arguments for QMA languages and discusses open questions regarding the connection between qIOPs and quantum PCPs. Additionally, it provides a technical overview of related works and the challenges in analyzing the robustness of the protocols. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential cryptographic applications of the qIOP model and the possibility of applying a Fiat-Shamir transformation to obtain a non-interactive succinct quantum argument for QMA.
