  "abstract": "Unconditionally secure quantum bit commitment (QBC) was widely believed to be impossible for more than two decades. But recently, basing on an anomalous behavior found in quantum steering, we proposed a QBC protocol which can be unconditionally secure in principle. The protocol requires the use of infinite-dimensional systems, thus it may seem less feasible at first glance. Here we show that such infinite-dimensional systems can be implemented with quantum optical methods, and propose an experimental scheme using Mach-Zehnder interferometer.",
