Quantum position verification (QPV) is emerging as a promising way to use quantum communication to establish trust based on location without requiring any pre-shared keys. This is impossible without the use of quantum information, making it a truly new capability of quantum networks. Recent research has both seen experimental advances towards implementing QPV, and deep theoretical connections between QPV protocol analysis and foundational questions in cryptography and physics. This workshop brings together theoretical and experimental researchers, to advance the understanding of QPV implementations, security proofs and potential loopholes, and to explore connections to a variety of fields including relativistic quantum information and spacetime. We aim to develop realistic implementations of QPV, novel protocols, and work out practical use cases of QPV.
