New Constructions for Quantum Money

We propose an information theoretically secure secret-key quantum money scheme in which the verification of a coin is classical and consists of only one round; namely, a classical query from the user to the bank and an accept/reject answer from the bank to the user. A coin can be verified polynomially (on the number of its qubits) many times before it expires. Our scheme is an improvement on Gavinsky\u27s scheme [Gavinsky, Computational Complexity, 2012], where three rounds of interaction are needed and is based on the notion of quantum retrieval games. Moreover, we propose a public-key quantum money scheme which uses one-time memories as a building block and is computationally secure in the random oracle model. This construction is derived naturally from our secret-key scheme using the fact that one-time memories are a special case of quantum retrieval games
