Abstract
A substantial spike in the need for quality healthcare has resulted from people being more cognizant of health issues. With blockchain, healthcare providers may safely share patient information electronically, which is especially important given the sensitive nature of the data contained inside them. However, flaws in the current blockchain design have surfaced since the dawn of quantum computing systems. The study proposes a novel quantum inspired blockchain system (Qchain) and constructs a unique entangled quantum medical record (EQMR)system with an emphasis on privacy and security. This Qchain relies on entangled states to connect its blocks. Automated production of the chronology indicator reduces storage capacity requirements by connecting entangled BloQ (blocks with quantum properties) with controlled activities. One qubit is used to store the hash value of each block. A lot of information regarding quantum internet is included in the protocol for the entangled quantum medical record (EQMR). EQMR can be accessed in Medical Internet of Things (M-IoT) systems may be kept private and secure, and their where-abouts can be monitored in the event of an emergency. The protocol also uses quantum authentication in place of more conventional methods like encryption and digital signatures. Mathematical research shows that the quantum converged blockchain (QCB) is highly safe against attacks such as the External attack, Intercept-Measure-Repeat attack, and Entanglement-Measure attack. The reliability and auditability evaluations of the entangled BloQ, as well as the quantum circuit design for computing the hash value, are presented. There's also a comparison between the suggested approach and several other quantum blockchain designs.

Comment:
The occurrence of data breaches in the healthcare sector is indeed a pervasive and significant issue in the 21st century. Simultaneously, there is a pressing need for shared medical records to enhance the quality of treatment provided. This article proposes an innovative model leveraging blockchain and quantum computing to address these issues effectively. The incorporation of quantum authentication during the validation phase stands out as an impressive feature. The comprehensive exploration of these topics not only highlights the necessity for innovation in healthcare security but also motivates further investigation into potential vulnerabilities arising from the intersection of blockchain and quantum computing.
While the article underscores the necessity of integrating these advanced technologies into medical care, it also serves as a catalyst for research into potential threats arising from quantum computing attacks on blockchain. Undoubtedly, the article is well-crafted, presenting a comprehensive and high-quality exploration of the subject matter.
