Systems and methods for quantum consensus

A method for quantum entanglement authentication, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by classical communications circuitry, a second number and a first electronic identification of a first subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles to a first computing device;
• and
• transmitting, by the classical communications circuitry, a first number and a second electronic identification of a second subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles to a second computing device,
• wherein each entangled quantum particle in the first set of entangled quantum particles is entangled with a respective entangled quantum particle in a second set of entangled quantum particles;
• receiving, from the first computing device, a third number;
• receiving, from the second computing device, a fourth number;
• and
• in an instance in which the third number corresponds to the first number and the fourth number corresponds to the second number, authenticating a session between the first computing device and the second computing device.

A computer program product for quantum entanglement authentication, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

• transmit, by classical communications circuitry, a second number and a first electronic identification of a first subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles to a first computing device;
• and
• transmit, by the classical communications circuitry, a first number and a second electronic identification of a second subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles to a second computing device,
• wherein each entangled quantum particle in the first set of entangled quantum particles is entangled with a respective entangled quantum particle in a second set of entangled quantum particles;
• receive, from the first computing device, a third number;
• receive, from the second computing device, a fourth number;
• and
• in an instance in which the third number corresponds to the first number and the fourth number corresponds to the second number, authenticate a session between the first computing device and the second computing device.
