Quantum strategies allow players to optimally win some nonlocal games by performing joint measurements on a shared entangled state, but finding these strategies can be challenging. In this talk, we will discuss a variational algorithm for computing quantum strategies and discuss how it can generate short-depth circuits that can be executed in near-term quantum devices. We will argue how these short-depth quantum strategies serve as high-level benchmarks and explore their performance across multiple quantum devices.
