A quantum complexity approach to the Kirchberg Embedding Problem

The Kirchberg Embedding Problem (KEP) asks if every C*-algebra embeds into an ultrapower of the Cuntz algebra $\cal O_2$. Motivated by the recent refutation of the Connes Embedding Problem using the quantum complexity result MIP*=RE, we establish two quantum complexity consequences of a positive solution to KEP. Both results involve almost-commuting strategies to nonlocal games.
