| dc.description | The no-go theorem of unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment depends crucially on the assumption that Alice knows in detail all the probability distributions generated by Bob. We show that if a protocol is concealing, then the cheating unitary transformation is independent of any parameters (including probability distributions) secretly chosen by Bob, so that Alice can calculate it without knowing Bob's secret choices. Otherwise the protocol cannot be concealing. Our result shows that the original impossibility proof was based on an incorrect assumption, despite the fact that its conclusion remains valid within the adopted framework. Furthermore, our result eliminates a potential loophole in the no-go theorem. | |
