Quantum-computing is able to harness quantum mechanics to reach data processing levels otherwise impossible with traditional computing. Google announced in 2015 that its quantum prototype was 100 million times faster than any other computer in their laboratory. The goal of quantum money is to create money that is physically impossible to counterfeit. Full quantum money would use quantum mechanics in each of the steps involving the minting, signing of transactions, and verifying transactions. Semi-Quantum Money would use classical minting and classical verification for the bank side.
