Publicly verifiable quantum money from random lattices
Abstract
Publicly verifiable quantum money is a protocol for the preparation of quantum states that can be efficiently verified by any party for authenticity but is computationally infeasible to counterfeit. We develop a cryptographic scheme for publicly verifiable quantum money based on Gaussian superpositions over random lattices. We introduce a verification-of-authenticity procedure based on the lattice discrete Fourier transform, and subsequently prove the unforgeability of our quantum money under the hardness of the short vector problem from lattice-based cryptography.

We would like to withdraw our paper because the calculation of the effect of the shift of the Gaussian balls, in the 2nd full paragraph in the first column on page 4, is incorrect. In fact, there is an argument that no quantum money built along similar principles can work [Jiahui Liu, Hart Montgomery, and Mark Zhandry, private communication]
