- Abstract summary: 'S-money' tokens do not require quantum memories or long distance quantum communication.
We describe implementations of S-money schemes with off-the-shelf quantum key distribution technology.
We show that, given standard assumptions in mistrustful quantum cryptographic implementations, unforgeability and user privacy could be guaranteed.

- Abstract: Unforgeable quantum money tokens were the first invention of quantum
information science, but remain technologically challenging as they require
quantum memories and/or long distance quantum communication. More recently,
virtual 'S-money' tokens were introduced. These are generated by quantum
cryptography, do not require quantum memories or long distance quantum
communication, and yet in principle guarantee many of the security advantages
of quantum money. Here, we describe implementations of S-money schemes with
off-the-shelf quantum key distribution technology, and analyse security in the
presence of noise, losses, and experimental imperfection. Our schemes satisfy
near instant validation without cross-checking. We show that, given standard
assumptions in mistrustful quantum cryptographic implementations,
unforgeability and user privacy could be guaranteed with attainable refinements
of our off-the-shelf setup. We discuss the possibilities for unconditionally
secure (assumption-free) implementations.

In the 1970s, Wiesner introduced the concept of quantum money, where quantum states generated according to specific rules function as currency.
Quantum computers capable of minting and preserving quantum money have not yet emerged.
Existing quantum channels are not stable enough to support the efficient transmission of quantum states for quantum money.

A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical.
We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more.
Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

Unclonability is a fundamental concept in quantum theory and one of the main non-classical properties of quantum information.
We introduce new notions of unclonability in the quantum world, namely quantum physical unclonability.
We discuss several applications of this new type of unclonability as a cryptographic resource for designing provably secure quantum protocols.

We focus on various shades of quantum simulation (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum, NISQ) devices, analogue and digital quantum simulators and quantum annealers.
There is a clear need and quest for such systems that, without necessarily simulating quantum dynamics of some physical systems, can generate massive, controllable, robust, entangled, and superposition states.
This will, in particular, allow the control of decoherence, enabling the use of these states for quantum communications.

In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data.
Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution.
Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
