Our protocol mainly consists of two parts: quantum encryption and a correspondence check. The quantum encryption part is implemented using linear combinations of wave plates, and the correspondence check is performed using Hong-Ou-Mandel interference. By analyzing the coincidence counts of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, we have successfully proven the proposed protocol experimentally, and also showed its robustness against an existential forgery.
