We propose two efficient quantum schemes performing quantum bit commitment, which is a simple cryptographic primitive involved with two parties, called a committer and a verifier. Our schemes are non-interactive with no supplemental shared information and they are built directly from two efficiently generated ensembles of reduced quantum states. The security conditions of our schemes come from an indistinguishability assumption of those ensembles. The first scheme achieves perfect hiding and computational binding, whereas the second scheme does computational hiding and statistical binding. It is known that the computational hardness of distinguishing between those two ensembles implies the existence of quantum one-way functions and that the existence of such functions leads to quantum bit commitment. Nonetheless, our schemes merit the simple and direct construction of quantum bit commitment schemes from those ensembles without bypassing the construction of quantum one-way functions but explicitly by exploiting specific features of the ensembles, which are interesting in their own right.
