Cosmology of Light Newsletter

Hello Friends,

There continues to be a flurry of activity in the quantum computing industry creating a veritable bubble of sorts. Many companies appear to have jumped on the bandwagon and investment in both hardware and software continues to rocket in a race to create a working, scalable quantum computer. To be clear, the quantum computer, conceived by renowned physicist Richard Feynman, was originally imagined to imitate Nature.

The underlying problem though is that depending on how Nature is perceived, a quantum computer could vary vastly in its aims and operations. That problem seems apparently to have been solved for now by following Feynman's conception of quantum computers being probabilistic, so as to imitate a probabilistic Nature. Given the fact of similar architectures across layers of matter and life however, a more ordered, less probabilistic Nature may be the truth, correspondingly giving rise to a completely different type of quantum computer.

I am glad to note that the paper, "Enhancing Feynman's Quantum Computational Positioning to Inject New Possibility into the Quantum Computing Industry," was just accepted by IEEE IEMCON 2022, and here I share aspects of the paper and the presentation I delivered at the conference last week. The paper is significant in that if its suggestions are correct, it is then clear that the current bubble will burst, and the creation of the probabilistic quantum computer that is the aim of all players in the industry now, will have to give way to the quaternary quantum computer positioned in the paper.

Best Wishes,

Pravir

The IEEE Feynman Paper

This paper examines the following:

Feynman’s foundational positions with respect to quantum computation
A different interpretation of quanta and quantum computing based on a vaster theory of light
Enhancement of Feynman’s initial position, and in particular his approach to simulating space, time, and probability based on the light-based quantum-computational model
Summary of non-probabilistic reinterpretations for Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, Schrodinger’s Wave Equation, and Euler’s Identity — foundational in how the possibilities of quantum computation are perceived
Suggestions on different developmental bases for the fledgling Quantum Computing industry

The IEEE presentation can be viewed in the accompanying youtube video.

The Right Type of Quantum Computer

Imitating a probabilistic Nature containing quantum dynamics such as entanglement and superposition is imagined to be at the heart of the probabilistic quantum computer. But what if Nature is not entirely probabilistic, or exhibits a sort of qualified determinism in which probability acts within set bounds?

Or what if superposition works differently than imagined so that instead of infinite number of possible states, a quantum-object is superposed with a series of meta-functions that then arbitrate how quantum-objects manifest so as to maintain the integrity of the presiding meta-functions?

And what if entanglement works differently, in that all material objects are already entangled, and entanglement is already abundant in Nature so that instead of creating it, it has to be leveraged differently?

These are the basic propositions that if true, will create a vastly different, and perhaps even a more accurate quantum computer - the right type of quantum computer.

The mathematics elaborated in the Cosmology of Light books and the derivative IEEE papers over the last few years in fact suggests such qualified determinism, meta-function based superposition, and abundant entanglement, and is symbolized by the accompanying graphic.
