Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus may encrypt data using an encryption key and securely store the encrypted data on a quantum medium so that the data is not accessed without authorization. The encrypted data may be stored on a quantum medium in the form of quantum bits that are encoded as quantum-entangled particles having correlated quantum states. An authorized user at a second quantum computer may access the stored data and decrypt the data with a copy of the encryption key that may be obtained from the first quantum computer via quantum tunneling. An intrusion attempt by an unauthorized party to access the quantum encrypted data via the quantum medium may cause one or more echoes to be generated and passed into the quantum medium. The echoes may disturb the quantum-entangled particles and make the quantum encrypted data unintelligible to the unauthorized party so that the encrypted data cannot be accessed.
