We propose the concept of pseudorandom quantum states, which appear random to any quantum polynomial-time adversary. It offers acomputationalapproximation to perfectly random quantum states analogous in spirit to cryptographic pseudorandom generators, as opposed tostatisticalnotions of quantum pseudorandomness that have been studied previously, such as quantumt-designs analogous tot-wise independent distributions.Under the assumption that quantum-secure one-way functions exist, we present efficient constructions of pseudorandom states, showing that our definition is achievable. We then prove several basic properties of pseudorandom states, which show the utility of our definition. First, we show a cryptographic no-cloning theorem: no efficient quantum algorithm can create additional copies of a pseudorandom state, when given polynomially-many copies as input. Second, as expected for random quantum states, we show that pseudorandom quantum states are highly entangled on average. Finally, as a main application, we prove that any family of pseudorandom states naturally gives rise to a private-key quantum money scheme.
