Possibility to Construct a Photonic Hypercomputer
Takaaki Musha
Abstract
On the basis of a theorem, in which an evanescent photon is a superluminal particle, the author considers the possibility of realizing a high performance computer system compared with conventional silicon processors. To realize such a quantum computer utilizing evanescent photons, we must replace electronic components with optical ones, and thus an equivalent optical transistor is required. This critical component for quantum computing can be created using meta-material circuits with a non-linear refractive index. Based on this optical computer system, utilizing metamaterial technology, it can be shown that superluminal computation, which is a new concept for hypercomputation, can be realized in the physical world.
