Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for quantum entanglement authentication (QEA). An example method includes generating, at a second computing device, a second number based on a subset of a second set of entangled quantum particles associated with the second computing device. Each entangled quantum particle in the second 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. The example method further includes transmitting the second number to a first computing device. In some instances, the example method may further include authenticating a session between the first computing device and the second computing device in an instance in which the second number corresponds, or is identical, to a first number.

Abstract: Detecting a level of current in a conductor such as a power line can be accomplished using sensing devices that are coupled to the line. Such devices can have a clamshell or briefcase-style shape and close about the line. The line passes through a channel between the sides of the device. A quantum substance made of a material having a phonon decay sideband is arranged nearby the channel, and a light source and a scanning source work in tandem to cause the substance to emit light that can be analyzed to determine a magnitude of a magnetic field on the substance. By distributing such sensing devices about a grid or other electrical distribution network, current throughout the network can be collected and analyzed to ascertain the presence and location of interferences with the grid.

The second device may provide authentication data based on the bit sequence to the first device. The first device may use its copy of the bit sequence and the authentication data to authenticate the second device.
