Well, okay. I don't know enough about quantum cryptography to really evaluate this idea. However, conventionally, the way to do this is a trusted execution environment that attests to the hash of the software running and it promises to have really really deleted the private key or the secret after it is transferred. Advantage of this scheme is that it does not require me to study more cryptography.
