What is a quantum coin toss?

The video explores a problem in quantum cryptography: flipping a coin over the phone. It highlights the issues with classical coin flipping and introduces a quantum solution using wavefunction collapse and polarization. The video explains how photons can be used to ensure fairness in a coin flip between two untrusting parties. It demonstrates the concept of wavefunction collapse with polarizing filters and details a protocol for a quantum coin flip. The video concludes with a discussion on the impossibility of cheating in this system and provides links to further resources.
