| MIPco=coRE | QIP 2026 | regular | — |
In 2020, a landmark result by Ji, Natarajan, Vidick, Wright, and Yuen showed that MIP∗, the class of languages that can be decided by a classical verifier interacting with multiple computationally unbounded provers sharing entanglement in the tensor product model, is equal to RE. We show that the class MIPco, a complexity class defined similarly to MIP∗ except with provers sharing the commuting operator model of entanglement instead, is equal to the class coRE. This shows that giving the provers two different models of entanglement leads to two completely different computational powers for interactive proof systems. Our proof builds upon the compression theorem used in the proof of MIP∗ = RE, and we use the tracially embeddable strategies framework to show that the same compression procedure in MIP∗ = RE also has the same desired property in the commuting operator setting. We also give a more streamlined proof of the compression theorem for non-local games by incorporating the synchronous framework used by Mousavi et al. [STOC 2022], as well as the improved Pauli basis test introduced by de la Salle [ArXiv:2204.07084].
We introduce a new equivalence condition for RE/coRE-complete problems, which we call the weakly compressible condition. We show that both MIP∗ and MIPco satisfy this condition through the compression theorem, and thereby establish that the uncomputability for MIP∗ and MIPco can be proved under a unified framework (despite these two complexity classes being different). Notably, this approach also gives an alternative proof of the MIP∗ = RE theorem, which does not rely on the preservation of the entanglement bound. In addition to non-local games, this new condition could also potentially be applicable to other decision problems. |

Tracial embeddable strategies: Lifting MIP* tricks to MIPco ↗

TQC 2024 | regular ▸ presenter | — |
We prove that any two-party correlation in the commuting operator model can be approximated using a tracial embeddable strategy, a class of strategy defined on a finite tracial von Neumann algebra, which we define in this paper. Using this characterization, we show that any approximately synchronous correlation can be approximated to the average of a collection of synchronous correlations in the commuting operator model. This generalizes the result from Vidick [JMP 2022], which only applies to finite-dimensional quantum correlations. Furthermore, we extend the state-dependent norm variant of the Gowers-Hatami theorem to finite von Neumann algebras. Combined with the aforementioned characterization, this enables us to lift many known results about robust self-testing for non-local games to the commuting operator model, including a sample efficient EPR testing for the commuting operator strategies. We believe that, in addition to the contribution from this paper, this class of strategies can be helpful for further understanding non-local games in the infinite-dimensional setting. |
