Title: How to Verify a Quantum Computation

Summary: Experimental implementations of quantum computers are in their infancy, but already we are faced with the following conundrum: if quantum computers are exponentially more powerful than their classical counterparts, how can we verify the outcome of a quantum computation? In this context, the scientific method of "predict and verify" appears to fail dramatically: these computations are so complex that they are impossible to predict. For a solution to this problem, we turn to theoretical computer science, where it is well established that interaction dramatically increases the power of a verification process.
