We examine the task above where Alice and Bob do not trust each other which we call adversarial self-testing.We show that adversarial self-testing implies secure sampling—a simpler task that we introduce where distrustful Alice and Bob wish to sample from a joint probability distribution with the guarantee that an honest party’s marginal is not biased. By extending impossibility results in two-party quantum cryptography, we give a simple proof that both of these tasks are impossible in all but trivial settings.6 pagesapplication/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.L0320396
