Quantum delegated computing ciphertext retrieval scheme.

Quantum physics has some unique properties, such as quantum entanglement and quantum superposition. Encryption algorithms designed based on quantum physical properties usually have higher security than classical computing. Applying quantum cryptography to data retrieval can realize cloud database encryption of quantum information. We propose a cloud ciphertext retrieval scheme, which combines quantum encryption and quantum search algorithm to ensure the privacy of data while the server completes information retrieval. In this scheme, the data are stored in the form of qubits string and placed in the quantum superposition state. We establish the mapping relationship between classical information and quantum states. Our scheme solves the problem of a large amount of computing and lack of sufficient computing resources at the client, assigns computing tasks to servers with sufficient resources, and ensures the security of information.
