Hello Friends,
The existing trajectory of quantum computation has deep roots in a decades-long framework nurtured by academia. That ship set sail a century ago and today has become a veritable force as it continually attracts more industry leaders and governments. Central to that framework lies the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics in which a quantum-object can hold infinite possible values until measured, at which point it collapses into a measurable value. In this point of view, then, the quantum realm is a black-box and its dynamics simply cannot be known by direct measurement.
This implies that even the three pillars of modern-day quantum computation — namely superposition & entanglement, as interpreted, and the probabilistic view of Nature — can not quite be corroborated, and equally, can be interpreted differently hence giving rise to one or more different trajectories of quantum computing than being followed by industry leaders such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Quantinuum, amongst others.
It is in contrast to the current industry-accepted agenda that I offer an alternative view and suggest a second quantum computational agenda. In this newsletter I share aspects of this agenda and call on individuals and organizations to participate in a bold journey powered by QIQuantum engines to newly discover the riches and vast potential of the invisible.
Wishing you a fruitful 2024!
Warmly,
Pravir
