 gh\nDavid Wu\, University of Texas\nZero-knowledge proofs are a powerful c
 ryptographic tool which has found numerous real-world applications in e.g.
  confidential transactions\, anonymous credentials\, e-voting and blockcha
 in. Recently\, due to the significant progress in building quantum compute
 rs\, there has been tremendous interest in constructing such protocols fro
 m quantum-safe assumptions.\nThe goal of this workshop is to share the cur
 rent state-of-the-art results in the area of post-quantum zero-knowledge p
 roofs and bring the two (seemingly separate) research communities together
 : lattice- and hash-based proof systems. Indeed\, many recent lattice-base
 d constructions (even unknowingly) borrow key techniques from hash-based p
 roof systems\, e.g.\, the split-and-fold approach or the sumcheck protocol
 . We thus believe the two areas have a lot in common\, and by sharing the 
 knowledge in the related fields\, we\, as a cryptographic research communi
 ty\, can build more efficient and practical quantum-safe zero-knowledge pr
 otocols.\n
