1. A system for quantum computing (QC) detection, the system comprising:
QC detection data generation circuitry configured to:
generate QC detection data;
cryptographic circuitry configured to:
generate one or more pairs of asymmetric cryptographic keys, wherein each pair of asymmetric cryptographic keys comprises a public cryptographic key and a private cryptographic key;
generate one or more encrypted QC detection data based on the one or more pairs of asymmetric cryptographic keys, wherein each encrypted QC detection data in the one or more encrypted QC detection data is generated based on a respective pair of asymmetric cryptographic keys;
destroy all private cryptographic keys in the one or more pairs of asymmetric cryptographic keys in response to generating the one or more encrypted QC detection data; and
data monitoring circuitry configured to:
monitor a set of data environments for any QC detection data.
