Quantum Money is a quantum cryptographic scheme that was first introduced by Wiesner [Wie83] in 1983. Informally, the quantum money object is a unique (e.g. has a public classical serial number) and unforgeable (e.g. unclonable) physical object that is created by a third party called Mint (that could be trusted or not trusted). Then, it is circulated among potentially untrusted parties, Holder, who might attempt to forge it for double spending. However a Merchant, upon receiving it, should be able to verify the money has not been forged and originated from Mint. There are various verification schemes based on different types of communication and types of key encryption used by Mint (see Protocols).

Mint generates the quantum money and hands it to Holder. Bank shares a secret classical key with Mint for all distributed money. For verification, Merchant sends the quantum money to Bank through a quantum channel. Bank performs local quantum measurements, dictated by the secret classical key, and accepts or rejects the money conditioned on the measurement outcomes.
It involves a trusted party called Bank, who shares secrete key with Mint for all distributed money. For verification, Merchant sends quantum money to Bank through a quantum channel. Bank performs local quantum operations depending on the secret key they hold to reject or accept the money.

Mint generates the quantum money and hands it to Holder. All Holder and Merchant parties can verify the authenticity of the money themselves with the help of a public key.

*A QMoney scheme is '''correct''' if an original quantum money issued by Mint is accepted by Bank with unit probability.

*A QMoney scheme is information-theoretically (resp. computationally) '''secure''' if no adversarial holder with unlimited (resp. computational) power can pass verification with different Merchants or Banks at the same time with high probability.
