We show that any language solvable in nondeterministic time exp( exp(⋯exp(n))), where the number of iterated exponentials is an arbitrary function R(n), can be decided by a multiprover interactive proof system with a classical polynomial-time verifier and a constant number of quantum entangled provers, with completeness 1 and soundness 1 − exp(−Cexp(⋯exp(n))), where the number of iterated exponentials is R(n)−1 and C>0 is a universal constant. The result was previously known for R=1 and R=2; we…

NEEXP in MIP
TLDR
The main result of this work is the inclusion of NEEXP (nondeterministic doubly exponential time) in MIP*.
Perfect Zero Knowledge for Quantum Multiprover Interactive Proofs
TLDR
The main result is that the two classes are equal, i.e., MIP* = PZK-MIP*.
NEEXP is Contained in MIP*
TLDR
The main result of this work is the inclusion of NEEXP (nondeterministic doubly exponential time) in MIP*.
Complexity lower bounds for computing the approximately-commuting operator value of non-local games to high precision
TLDR
Lower bounds are given on the complexity class PZK-MIPcoδ (2, 1,1, s) of perfect zero-knowledge multi-prover proofs with approximately-commuting operator strategies, as the gap 1 --- s gets arbitrarily small.
Nonlocal games, compression theorems, and the arithmetical hierarchy
TLDR
The Π2-completeness result is a new “gapless” compression theorem that holds for both quantum and commuting operator strategies, and explains how results about the complexity of nonlocal games all follow in a unified manner from a technique known as compression.
A generalization of CHSH and the algebraic structure of optimal strategies
TLDR
This work introduces an algebraic generalization of CHSH by viewing it as a linear constraint system (LCS) game, exhibiting self-testing properties that are qualitatively different, and gives the first example of a game that is not a self-test.
The membership problem for constant-sized quantum correlations is undecidable
TLDR
There is a family of constant-sized correlations such that solving the quantum membership problem for this family is computationally impossible, and the undecidability that arises in understanding Bell experiments is not dependent on varying the number of measurements in the experiment.
Analysis of Quantum Multi-Prover Zero-Knowledge Systems: Elimination of the Honest Condition and Computational Zero-Knowledge Systems for QMIP
TLDR
The LHI protocol makes previous research for Local Hamiltonians applicable to check the history state of interactive proofs, and Broadbent et al.'s zero-knowledge protocol for QMA \cite{BJSW} to quantum multi-prover systems in order to obtain the second result.
Constant-sized robust self-tests for states and measurements of unbounded dimension
We consider correlations, ?=,G , arising from measuring a maximally entangled state using = measurements with two outcomes each, constructed from = projections that add up to G . We show that the…
On the complexity of zero gap MIP
TLDR
This paper proves that $\mathsf{MIP}^*_0$ extends beyond the first level of the arithmetical hierarchy, and in fact is equal to $\Pi_2^0$, the class of languages that can be decided by quantified formulas of the form $\forall y \, \exists z \, R(x,y,z)$.

A Multiprover Interactive Proof System for the Local Hamiltonian Problem
TLDR
This work gives a quantum interactive proof system for the local Hamiltonian problem on n qubits in which the verifier has a single round of interaction with five entangled provers and completeness and soundness are separated by an inverse polynomial in $n.
Low-Degree Testing for Quantum States, and a Quantum Entangled Games PCP for QMA
We show that given an explicit description of a multiplayer game, with a classical verifier and a constant number of players, it is QMA-hard, under randomized reductions, to distinguish between the…
A quantum linearity test for robustly verifying entanglement
TLDR
A simple two-player test which certifies that the players apply tensor products of Pauli σX and σZ observables on the tensor product of n EPR pairs is introduced, which is the first robust self-test for n E PR pairs.
Quantum interactive proofs with weak error bounds
This paper proves that the computational power of quantum interactive proof systems, with a double-exponentially small gap in acceptance probability between the completeness and soundness cases, is…
The Quantum Moment Problem and Bounds on Entangled Multi-prover Games
TLDR
It is proved that a hierarchy of semidefinite programs similar to the one given by Navascues, Pironioand Acin converges to the entangled value of the game and it would follow that the languages recognized by a multi-prover interactive proof system where the provers share entanglement are recursive.
Compression of quantum multi-prover interactive proofs
TLDR
It is established that non local games are provably harder than classical games without any complexity theory assumptions and gap amplification for nonlocal games may be impossible in general.
Proof verification and the hardness of approximation problems
TLDR
It is proved that no MAX SNP-hard problem has a polynomial time approximation scheme, unless NP = P, and there exists a positive ε such that approximating the maximum clique size in an N-vertex graph to within a factor of Nε is NP-hard.

TLDR
Lower bounds are given on the complexity class PZK-MIPcoδ (2, 1,1, s) of perfect zero-knowledge multi-prover proofs with approximately-commuting operator strategies, as the gap 1 --- s gets arbitrarily small.
A Multi-prover Interactive Proof for NEXP Sound against Entangled Provers
TLDR
This work proves a strong limitation on the ability of entangled provers to collude in a multiplayer game, and shows that the correlations produced by any entangled strategy which succeeds in the multilinearity test with high probability can always be closely approximated using shared randomness alone.

TLDR
The key technical component of this work is a soundness analysis of a point-vs-plane low-degree test against entangled players that extends and simplifies the analysis of the multilinearity test by Ito and Vidick.
