Self-testing in the compiled setting via tilted-CHSH inequalities (2406.04986v1)

Abstract: In a Bell scenario, a classical verifier interacts with two non-communicating provers, producing a correlation. Certain correlations allow the verifier to certify, or self-test, the underlying quantum state and measurements. Notably, the family of tilted-CHSH inequalities has been used to self-test any two-qubit state. Self-tests underpin numerous device-independent protocols, however, a significant drawback of such applications is the non-communicating assumption. To address the non-communication assumption Kalai et al. (STOC'23) give a procedure which compiles a bipartite Bell scenario into a 2-round interaction between a verifier and a single computationally bounded prover. In this work, we formalize self-testing for compiled Bell scenarios. We prove the maximal quantum value is preserved under compilation for the family of tilted-CHSH inequalities, and that any maximal violation constitutes a compiled self-test. More specifically, we establish the existence of an efficient isometry recovering the state and measurements in the second round.
