Quantum Homomorphic Encryption for Polynomial-Sized Circuits

Overview

This presentation delves into the advanced field of Quantum Homomorphic Encryption (QHE), exploring its theoretical underpinnings and practical considerations. It builds upon the foundation of classical homomorphic encryption, examining how computations can be performed on encrypted quantum data.

The document covers the evolution of QHE, including the Clifford Scheme, and discusses inherent challenges such as the T-gate. It also connects QHE concepts to computational complexity theory through Barrington's Theorem and introduces a novel QHE scheme.
