Verification of Universal Quantum Computation
Functionality
Quantum Computers perform task which are intractable for classical computers. The basic question here would be, "How should one verify the result of a quantum computer? This task is known as quantum verification or verification of quantum computation.

Protocols
- Delegated Quantum Computation employing 'blindness'
- Single-prover prepare-and-send
- Single-prover receive-and-measure
- Multi-prover entanglement-based
Properties
- BQP is the class of problems which can be efficiently solved by quantum computers
- BPP is the class of problems which can be efficiently solved by classical computers.
- MA (Merlin-Arthur) is the class of problems whose solutions can be verified when given a proof setting called witness.
- IP (interactive-proof system) is a generalization of MA, which involves back and forth communication between a verifier (a BPP machine) and prover (has unbounded computational power).
- Correctness
- Soundness
