A Quantum Bit Commitment Protocol Based on EPR States

Quantum Physics 2008-02-03 v5

Abstract

A protocol for quantum bit commitment is proposed. The protocol is feasible with present technology and is secure against cheaters with unlimited computing power as long as the sender does not have the technology to store an EPR particle for an arbitrarily long period of time. The protocol is very efficient, requiring only tens of particles.

LaTeX file, 10 pages, no figures. It is shown how a cheating sender who has the technology to store an EPR particle for an arbitrarily long period of time can break the proposed protocol. Some recent references have been added
