Quantum Shard Encryption Theory
Zuhair Ahmed
Abstract
Quantum Shard Encryption Theory introduces a quantum encryption framework in which classical information is fragmented into sharded quantum subsystems and dynamically recombined using adaptive entanglement. Unlike conventional quantum encryption that encodes data into single entangled states, this protocol distributes logical information across multiple shard qubits whose recombination is controlled through entanglement-dependent swap operations. Qiskit simulations on 5–8 qubit systems demonstrate perfect recovery in ideal conditions and high resilience under realistic noise, confirming shard recombination as a robust defense against homomorphic and inference-based quantum attacks.
