Extended nonlocal games and monogamy-of-entanglement games

Vincent Russo, Institute for Quantum Computing

Two-player one-round games have served to be an instrumental model in theoretical computer science. Likewise, nonlocal games consider this model when the players have access to an entangled quantum state. In this talk, I will consider a broader class of nonlocal games (extended-nonlocal games), where the referee shares an entangled state along with the players. We will pay particular attention to a type of extended nonlocal game called monogamy-of-entanglement games. Throughout the talk, there will be code examples to help us understand these games. The code will make use of MATLAB, and a particularly nice package called QETLAB, which is a library primarily written by Nathaniel Johnston for studying quantum information. For those who wish to follow along, all of the software will be hosted on this repository:
