From the referenced paper: The problem is, how do we convince a skeptic over the Internet, with no access to our hardware, that the bits were indeed random, and not secretly backdoored? In our protocol, a classical verifier uses a small random seed to generate n-qubit challenge circuits C1, C2, . . . pseudorandomly. The verifier then submits these Ci’s one at a time…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2303.01625/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>quant-ph
