In our exploration of the realms of quantum internet applications, we introduce today a primitive that cannot exist in classical networks: quantum tokens.
Imagine a form of digital currency that combines the security of quantum physics with the practicality of today’s technology—no quantum computers required: quantum tokens. Here’s what makes them unique:
- Unclonable by nature – The no-cloning theorem makes counterfeiting physically impossible
- Instant verification – Token authenticity is confirmed immediately
- True privacy – No public ledger, no transaction history exposure
- Available today – Built with current quantum communication technology, no quantum storage needed
The concept is elegant: a bank issues quantum states to clients who measure them upon receipt. When spending, clients choose their recipient freely. The quantum properties ensure security without the overhead of blockchain infrastructure.
As quantum technologies mature, quantum tokens represent a practical bridge between classical financial systems and quantum-secure futures.
