Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for providing real-time multi-faceted authentication of a user before or during the user's interaction with a channel. The system uses authentication devices to acquire large amounts of authentication level information data, then makes a determination that at least a portion of the acquired authentication level information data cannot be efficiently processed by a conventional computer apparatus due to the complexity of a required analysis process and/or the quantity of data that must be processed. The system then formats and transmits this authentication data to a special quantum optimizer that is configured to perform the complex analysis and/or process extremely large volumes of data substantially in real-time. The quantum optimizer performs the analysis and returns a confirmed identity of the user that is then used by the conventional computer apparatus to authenticate the user for the interaction with the channel.
