Abstract
Quantum money is a cryptographic protocol where one party (the mint) can
prepare quantum states (each with a unique serial number) that can be
verified but not duplicated. We sketch our 2010 quantum money protocol
based on knot invariants and planar embeddings of knots, and sketch other
proposals for quantum money that have been made since then, including our
recent failed protocol.
