An optical implementation of quantum bit commitment using infinite-dimensional systems


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment (QBC) was widely believed to be impossible for more than two decades. But recently, basing on an anomalous behavior found in quantum steering, we proposed a QBC protocol which can be unconditionally secure in principle. The protocol requires the use of infinite-dimensional systems, thus it may seem less feasible at first glance. Here we show that such infinite-dimensional systems can be implemented with quantum optical methods, and propose an experimental scheme using Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
