Title: Quantum Money from Lattices
Abstract: Quantum money is a cryptographic protocol for quantum computers. A quantum money
protocol consists of a quantum state which can be created (by the mint) and verified (by
anybody with a quantum computer who knows what the "serial number" of the money
is), but which cannot be duplicated, even by somebody with a copy of the quantum state who
knows the verification protocol. Several previous proposals have been made for quantum
money protocols. We will discuss the history of quantum money and give a protocol which
cannot be broken unless lattice cryptosystems are insecure.
