The Existence of Quantum One-Way Functions
Abstract
One-way functions are essential tools for cryptography. However, the existence of one-way functions is still an open conjecture. By constructing a function with classical bits as input and quantum states as output, we prove for the first time the existence of quantum one-way functions. It provides theoretical guarantees for the security of many quantum cryptographic protocols.
