Systems and methods for quantum consensus

A system for quantum entanglement authentication, the system comprising:

• quantum cryptographic circuitry;
• classical communications circuitry;
• and
• session authentication circuitry,
• wherein the classical communications circuitry is configured to:
• receive, by a first computing device and from a remote server, a first electronic identification of a first subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles and a second number, the second number generated based on a second subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles associated with 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;
• and
• receive, by the first computing device and from the second computing device, a first number having been generated based on a first subset of the second set of entangled quantum particles and a fourth number having been generated based on a second subset of the second set of entangled quantum particles,
• wherein the session authentication circuitry is configured to:
• generate a third number based on the first subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles;
• and
• authenticate, based upon the third number being identical or complimentary to the first number and the fourth number being identical or complimentary to the second number, 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:

• receive, by a first computing device and from a remote server, a first electronic identification of a first subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles and a second number, the second number generated based on a second subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles associated with 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, by the first computing device and from the second computing device, a first number having been generated based on a first subset of the second set of entangled quantum particles and a fourth number having been generated based on a second subset of the second set of entangled quantum particles;
• generate, by the first computing device, a third number based on the first subset of the first set of entangled quantum particles;
• and
• authenticate, by session authentication circuitry of the first computing device and based upon the third number being identical or complimentary to the first number and the fourth number being identical or complimentary to the second number, a session between the first computing device and the second computing device.
