Abstract

This chapter explores the role of piracy in quantum proofs, focusing on the concept of anti-piracy proof systems. It begins by discussing the foundational work of Goldwasser, Micali, and Rackoff, which revolutionized the understanding of proofs as interactive games between a prover and a verifier. The chapter then delves into the challenges of defining uncloneable proof systems, highlighting the complexities involved in ensuring that quantum proofs cannot be generically copied. It introduces the notion of anti-piracy proof systems, which aim to prevent the cloning of proofs and ensure their usefulness to multiple verifiers. The chapter also discusses the implications of cloneable proof systems in complexity theory, exploring the power of quantum proofs over classical proofs. It concludes with a summary of contributions and open questions, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in this field.
