Titulo: From Bell's inequalities to computational complexity

Julia Kempe, Department of Computer Science, University
of Tel Aviv, Israel

Resumen: Since the seminal work of John Bell it has been
known that quantum entanglement between two parties can
produce correlations that are not possible in a
classical world, even with hidden variables. This
has been one of the most remarkable discoveries and
a formidable tool to prove the validity of quantum
mechanics in the lab.

Computer scientists have long since appropriated
Bell's inequalities. Perhaps the most prominent
"application" is in unconditionally secure quantum
cryptography. But among the most important challenges
in the field currently is to understand the
computational complexity of computing the violation
of Bell's inequalities, or, in computer science lingo,
the hardness of entangled multi-prover interactive
proofs. Surprisingly, one of the most important
approaches currently in this area builds on the work
of Tsirelson who gave upper bounds on the maximal
violation of Bell inequalities using semidefinite
programming. I will explain the connection and
the questions in this area and give an overview of
some recent results, which, surprisingly, also give
rise to new Bell inequalities.
