1. A method for generating and using a quantum obfuscation map (QOM), the method comprising:
generating, by cryptographic circuitry, one or more quantum obfuscation elements (QOEs) based on one or more quantum particles;
generating, by the cryptographic circuitry, the QOM based on the one or more QOEs, wherein the QOM is generated based on a traversed path through a stored tree of addresses and the traversed path is determined based on the one or more QOEs;
receiving, by processing circuitry, an indication of an instance of information/data; and
determining, by the processing circuitry, a location within a memory or a disk storage for each section in a plurality of sections corresponding to the instance of information/data based on the QOM.
