Here, we demonstrate a verification algorithm based on weak measurement which can achieve the same purpose even if the qubit is \\textit{not} in an equal superposition state. The proposed algorithm highlights the \\textit{distinguishability} between any arbitrary single qubit superposition state and an eigenstate. We apply this algorithm to propose the scheme of a Quantum Locker, a protocol in which any legitimate party can verify his/her authenticity by using a newly developed Quantum One-Time Password (OTP) and retrieve the necessary message from the locker. We formally explicate the working of Quantum Locker in association with the Quantum OTP, which theoretically offers a much higher security against any adversary, as compared to any classical security device.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-14T15:06:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ibm quantum computer", "quantum locker", "verification algorithm", "developed quantum one-time password", "equal superposition state" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
