講演概要
Device-independent (DI) protocols provide the strongest form of security by removing trust assumptions on quantum devices and relying solely on observed nonlocal correlations and quantum rigidity. In this talk, I will discuss how multipartite Bell nonlocality and self-testing can be leveraged to secure distributed positioning tasks, using a quantum-secured global positioning system (GPS) as a concrete case study.
We consider a protocol based on a five-qubit entangled state shared among four satellites and one ground station, where correct state preparation and measurement behavior are certified solely from Bell inequality violations. I will explain how rigidity guarantees enable device-independent authentication against spoofing and cyberattacks, and discuss practical considerations in the NISQ era, including implementation trade-offs between superconducting and trapped-ion platforms, as well as constraints arising from long-distance photonic distribution.
