TL;DR: The use of quantum mechanical systems to record information gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena, not achievable with classical recording media, including the multiplexing of two messages in such a way that either message may be recovered at the cost of irreversibly destroying the other.
Abstract: The use of quantum mechanical systems, such as polarized photons, to record information gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena, not achievable with classical recording media: 1) A Verify Only Memory (VOM) that, with high probability, cannot be read or copied by someone ignorant of its contents; 2) the multiplexing of two messages in such a way that, with high probability, either message may be recovered at the cost of irreversibly destroying the other.
