Abstract(in English) It is an open problem whether a classical client can delegate quantum computing to a remote quantum server in such a way that the correctness of quantum computing is somehow guaranteed. Several protocols for verifiable delegated quantum computing have been proposed, but the client is notcompletely free from any quantum technology: the client has to generate or measure single-qubit states. In this paper, we show that the client can be completely classical if the server is rational (i.e., economically motivated). More precisely, we consider the following protocol. The server first sends the client a message allegedly equal to the solution of the problem that the client wants to solve. The client then gives the server a monetary reward whose amount is calculated in classical probabilistic polynomial-time by using the server's message as an input. The reward function is constructed in such a way that the expectation value of the reward (the expectation over the client's probabilistic computing) is maximum when the server's message is the correct solution to the problem. The rational server who wants to maximize his/her profit therefore has to send the correct solution to the client.
