1. A system, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
monitoring a security status of a mobile communication session comprising a back-haul link between a wireless access point and a mobility core network, the back-haul link comprising a classical communication channel adapted to transport underlying data of the mobile communication session between the wireless access point and the mobility core network;
responsive to determining a change in the security status indicating a perceived threat:
provisioning a quantum communication channel between the wireless access point and the mobility core network, wherein the quantum communication channel is adapted to transport information via qubits; and
exchanging information between the wireless access point and the mobility core network via the qubits of the quantum communication channel, wherein the exchanging of the information via the qubits enhances a security level of the mobile communication session to obtain an enhanced security level in view of the perceived threat.
