-* The quantum transmission consists of series of very dim pulses of coherent or incoherent polarized light rather than individual photons.
-* The receiver attempts to detect the pulses by noisy, imperfectly quantum-efficient detectors such as photomultiplier tubes.
-* The pulses cannot be stored for a significant length of time, so the receiver must measure each pulse before the next one arrives or else lose the opportunity of measuring it at all.
+* The demonstration of quantum oblivious transfer uses the transmission consisting of series of highly attenuated pulses of coherent or incoherent polarized light rather than individual photons.
+* The receiver measures the pulses using noisy, imperfectly quantum-efficient detectors such as photomultiplier tubes.
+* The protocol is a streaming protocol where the receiver measures each pulses on the fly. Thus it does not require the receiver to store the pulses in a quantum memory.
