  • Patent number: 11245519
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for quantum entanglement random number generation (QERNG). An example method for QERNG includes, among other operations, generating a quantum entanglement random number based on a subset of a first set of entangled quantum particles associated with a first computing device. Each entangled quantum particle in the first set of entangled quantum particles may be entangled with a respective entangled quantum particle in a second set of entangled quantum particles associated with a second computing device. In some instances, the example method may further include generating a cryptographic key based on the quantum entanglement random number, encrypting an electronic communication based on the cryptographic key, and transmitting the encrypted electronic communication to the second computing device.
