PREPARE THE QUBITS
Each qubit begins in |0⟩. A Hadamard gate puts it into a quantum state where measurement can produce either 0 or 1.

One Solana wallet generated from the result.
QK—01 / FROM QUBIT TO KEYEvery crypto wallet begins with randomness. Usually, that randomness comes from software or hardware random-number generators.
For Quantum Key, it started somewhere else:
a real IBM quantum processor.
Six steps. One continuous process.
From a quantum state to an on-chain identity.
Each qubit begins in |0⟩. A Hadamard gate puts it into a quantum state where measurement can produce either 0 or 1.
The circuit runs on an actual IBM quantum processor, not a simulator. Each qubit is measured once, producing physical 0s and 1s.
Four runs. 64 measured bits each. The results are joined into one 256-bit input. Raw measurements are never published.
The measurements are concatenated and hashed with SHA-256 to produce an exact 32-byte seed.
Solana wallets use Ed25519 cryptography. The quantum-derived seed deterministically generates the wallet’s cryptographic keypair.
The public key becomes a Solana address. A conventional wallet, with an unconventional origin.
Real hardware. A traceable process.
The public parameters behind the key.
JOB RECEIPTS WILL BE LINKED WHEN PUBLISHED.
256 measured bits describes the input length, not a certification of 256 bits of entropy. Hardware noise and bias can affect measurement quality. SHA-256 produces a fixed-length seed; it does not create additional entropy.
MOST WALLETS ARE BORN FROM SOFTWARE.
Before there was an address, there were only measurements.
0s and 1s observed on IBM quantum hardware.
Those bits became a seed. The seed became a key.
The key became a wallet.
The token behind the Quantum Key experiment.
