Allen School Ph.D. student Er-Cheng Tang and collaborator Mi-Ying (Miryam) Huang , a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California recently developed the first quantum state obfuscation scheme for unitary quantum programs, which are the backbone of quantum computing, in the classical oracle model. Tang and Huang presented their research at the 66th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2025) last December where they received the Machtey Award for Best Student Paper .
