Abstract
In this talk I will introduce the concept of self-testing which aims to answer the fundamental question of how do we certify proper functioning of black-box quantum devices. We will see that operator-algebraic techniques can be applied to this area and that there is a close link between self-testing and stability of algebraic relations. We will leverage this link to propose a family of protocols capable of certifying quantum states and measurements of arbitrarily large dimension with just four binary-outcome measurements. One of our main proof ingredients is a certain algebraic analogue of Gowers-Hatami stability theorem for group representations.
This is a joint work with Chris Schafhauser and Jitendra Prakash.
