Abstract
Embodiments of PUF systems are disclosed. Embodiments of such PUFs may be operated in the classical domain or the quantum domain, and moreover, may comprise substantially the same circuitry, and operate substantially the same, when operating in the classical domain or the quantum domain. Additionally, embodiments of such PUF systems may be effectively utilized to generate uniquely identifying signatures for electronic devices based on electronic circuity, photonic circuitry or some combination of electronic and photonic circuitry and may be utilized to generate such signatures for such electronic devices regardless of whether such electronic device themselves operate in the classical or quantum domain.
