A quantum digital signature (QDS) guarantees the unforgeability, nonrepudiation, and transferability of signature messages with information-theoretic security, and hence has attracted much attention recently. However, most previous implementations of QDS showed relatively low signature rates and/or short transmission distance. In this Letter, we report a proof-of-principle phase-encoding QDS demonstration using only one decoy state. First, such a method avoids the modulation of the vacuum state…

Efficient quantum digital signatures without symmetrization step.
TLDR
This protocol does not need the symmetrization step, and the signature rate scales linearly with the probability of detection events, and is compatible with existing quantum communication infrastructure, therefore it is anticipated that it will play a significant role in providing digital signatures with unconditional security.
Secure and practical multiparty quantum digital signatures.
TLDR
The post-matching method is introduced to enhance data utilization efficiency and make it linearly scale with the probability of detection events even for five-party scenario, which paves the way for future QDS networks.
