1. A system for secure data transfer and storage to meet a compliance requirement using quantum computing over a quantum network, the system comprising:
a quantum computer;
a data set;
one or more quantum bits (“qubits”) in a first set of qubits; and
one or more qubits in a second set of qubits;
the quantum computer is configured to:
establish, over the quantum network, quantum entanglement between the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits and the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits by establishing coherence between the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits and the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits;
store the data set on the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits, said data set stored as quantum states on the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits, and said first set of qubits is situated in a first location;
concurrent to storage of the data set on the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits, run a quantum algorithm that uses quantum entanglement between the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits and the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits to teleport the data set as quantum states of the one or more qubits in first set of qubits to the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits so that quantum states of the second set of qubits are correlated to quantum states of the first set of qubits, said second set of qubits situated in a second location; and
applying quantum error correction (“QEC”) to maintain quantum states of the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits for a predetermined time to meet the compliance requirement before the quantum states of the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits is lost through decoherence;
wherein:
the first location and second location are such that if the data set is transmitted from the first location to the second location over a binary network, the data set would pass through a router, a switch, or a firewall;
the first location and second location are such that the quantum states of the one or more qubits storing the data set are teleported from the first location to the second location over the quantum network without passing through a router, a switch, or a firewall; and
energy expended to transfer the data set over the quantum network as quantum states of the one or more qubits in the first set of qubits in the first location and quantum states of the one or more qubits in the second set of qubits in the second location is less than energy expended to transfer the data set the first location to the second location over a binary network using a binary computer.
