[quantum-info] Quantum position verification workshop, Perimeter Institute, 18-22 September 2023

[Adrian Kent]

*QPV2023: Advances in Position Verification*

A meeting on quantum position-verification is being held at the 
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics from Sept 18-22nd 2023.

(There will be no formal talks on the final day, Friday 22^nd September, 
which is set aside for discussion and collaboration.)

Quantum position verification (QPV) schemes use the properties of 
quantum information and the relativistic signalling bound to verify the 
location of an object to distant observers in an environment that may 
contain would-be spoofers. The guarantee is based on the assumptions of 
the underlying security model; various theoretically and practically 
interesting security models have been proposed. The area is attracting 
increasing interest, with new theoretical developments in security 
analyses, emerging experimental studies of QPV systems, and recently 
discovered surprising and intriguing connections to topics in quantum 
gravity.


The workshop will cover topics related to all aspects of QPV, including, 
but not limited to:

  * Theoretical developments related to the security of QPV schemes,
    including development or refinement of security models, proofs of
    security within given models, trade-offs between security and
    efficiency, and Experimental studies of QPV and theoretical work
    aimed at developing practical QPV schemes.
  * QPV’s relationship to other cryptographic tasks and primitives.
  * QPV’s relationship to holography and quantum gravity.

Interested faculty, postdocs and students are encouraged to apply to 
attend. Note that space is limited and early registration is encouraged,
