The [https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08759 example protocol] enables fully-classical parties to generate secret single qubit states using only public classical channels and a single quantum Server. This functionality could be used to replace a quantum channel completely such that a classical Client can perform various quantum applications over classical network connected to a quantum Server. An application of this functionality could be to carry out [[Secure Client- Server Delegated Computation|Delegated Quantum Computation]] by just classical online communication and no quantum communication. It allows a fully classical Client to hide her data such that she instructs Server to generate random single qubit states hiding her inputs, outputs, circuit and perform quantum computation on it via [[Prepare-and-Send Universal Blind Quantum Computation|UBQC]] or [[Prepare-and-Send Verifiable Universal Blind Quantum Computation|VUBQC]]. It can also find use cases in other protocols like Quantum Money, Quantum Digital Signatures etc.. which need user to share his/her private quantum key over a quantum channel. | |||

*'''Preimages Superposition.''' Server prepares two quantum registers (system comprising multiple qubits), first being control (containing inputs) and second being target (containing output of the function). Client instructs Server to create a superposition of input states by applying [[Hadamard|Hadamard gate]] (quantum fourier transform) on control register. She then instructs Server to apply a [[unitary gate|unitary gate]] (all quantum gates are represented by unitary matrices) which computes output of the function in the target register, taking input from the control register, thus yielding an entangled state from the Server's superposition state. Server is required to measure the target register in the computational basis (along Z axis) and get an outcome. This action would reduce the control register into a superposition of two pre-images corresponding to the measurement outcome of the target register. He conveys this outcome to the Client who computes, classically, the two pre-images using her trapdoor. This pair of pre-image would have some isolated similar qubits (without superposition) and a superposition of dissimilar qubits. The dissimilar qubits can be written as a superposition of isolated 0s and isolated 1s (a GHZ state), with [[X(NOT)|X (NOT) gates]] applied to qubits depending on the state of qubit in both the pre-images. If the last qubit belongs to the set of similar qubits, then Client aborts and this Stage is repeated. | *'''Preimages Superposition.'''

*'''Squeezing.''' Client instructs Server to measure all the qubits of the control register in some basis chosen randomly by the Client, except the last one, and return to her the outcomes. The last unmeasured state contains the randomly prepared qubit hidden from the Server. Client can then compute the value of r by an equation (see Pseudo Code). This equation depends only on Client’s measurement basis angles, Server’s measurement outcome and the location of random X’s (unknown to the Server). Thus, the Client knows the state of her secret qubit prepared by the Server. | *'''Squeezing.'''
