This research introduces a novel quantum hash function constructed from binary error-correcting codes, leveraging state preparation methods similar to existing QKD protocols like BB84. The approach is notable for its potential immediate implementation on current Quantum Key Distribution hardware, bridging theoretical cryptographic primitives with practical device capabilities.
Quantum Hashing with QKD States
arXiv:2609.23154v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum hashing is a well-known technique. In this paper, we present a new construction of a quantum hash function based on binary error-correcting codes. The construction of the quantum hash strongly resembles the quantum state preparation in QKD protocols (e.g., BB84 protocol) and can be implemented on current QKD-devices.
