Fourfold Properties of Light and its Relevance to Quantum Computation

Pravir Malik, Lalitha Nallamothula

Published Nov 4, 2020• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The four quantum phenomena of superposition, entanglement, tunneling, and annealing are envisioned to give quantum computing the ability to solve complex problems in very low-resolution times as compared with classical computers. These four phenomena are closely related to the light-based properties of presence, knowledge, power, and harmony, central to a multilayered light-based model of reality that also offers alternative foundation for thinking about quanta and quantum computation. In this model, it is not a random process from infinite superposed possibilities that exist at the quantum-level as supposed by the Copenhagen Interpretation, and as assumed as the foundation of the infinite processing capability of quantum objects by contemporary pioneers of quantum computing. Rather, the infinite processing capability is due to a more ordered display of superposition, entanglement, tunneling and annealing: superposition, as an ordered concord of light's property of presence stacked in logical arrangement by layer of light; entanglement, as a display of light's property of knowledge that occurs at a speed faster than the known speed of light; tunneling, as a display of light's property of power that allows toggling between different “realities” in layers of light; and annealing, expressing light's property of harmony, to find an ideal minimum state among a number of realities. These four quantum phenomena derivative from an implicit and natural unity within light, engineered to maintain that unity externally, will confer quantum computation with the possibility of extraordinary processing power.

Light-Based Interpretation of Quanta and its Implications on Quantum Computing

Pravir Malik

The very basis of modern-day quantum computing that relies on infinite number of superposed quantum states, on probability, on observable measurement that brings things into reality, is bought into question in the Light-centered Interpretation of quanta as discussed in this article. From the point of view of the Light-centered interpretation superposition, entanglement, and reality take on a different meaning and the infinite processing power allegedly true of quantum states, likely does not exist in the manner in which it has been conceived. Yet quantum computation as currently conceived is expected to be a bedrock technology for the future. This article will examine the basis for this, and will begin to contrast the claim of contemporary quantum computer technologists with the light-based quantum computation paradigm as introduced in this paper.

Entanglement: quantum information and computation

Gennaro Auletta, Mauro Fortunato, Giorgio Parisi A

In this chapter we shall deal with the most recent and challenging development of quantum theory, and also one of the most important ones for interpretational, foundational, and even technological issues. This field finds its roots in the observation that quantum states can be viewed as bricks of information in a way that is intrinsically different from classical information. As a consequence, the ability to manipulate quantum states translates immediately into a new form of information processing and exchange. What has been discovered during this conceptual passage is that this type of information processing is in many respects much richer than its classical analogue. This has contributed to the understanding of quantum states as an extension of the classical concept of state and not as a defective reality (see also Subsec. 2.3.4 and Sec. 15.5). The impossibility of knowing the value of all observables at the same time that had been seen as a strong limitation in the early days of quantum mechanics, now turns out to be a manifestation of a different – but not necessarily poorer – resource. On the contrary, we have increasingly discovered that superposition and entanglement are additional informational resources. These resources, for instance, allow for certain particular computations that are much faster on a quantum device than on its classical counterpart, and therefore the former is able to solve problems that cannot be practically solved using classical means.

ARCHITECTURE OF QUANTUM COMPUTING

Alfonso Recio Hernández, Alma L. Esparza Maldonado, Jorge Humberto Dzul Bermejo

Quantum computing is emerging as a revolutionary paradigm in the field of computing, promising an exponential leap in computing power and problemsolving that challenges even the most advanced supercomputers of the classical era.At the heart of this revolution lies the peculiarity of the quantum world, where subatomic particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition, and entangle their states in a way that defies classical logic.It is this capacity for superposition and entanglement that gives quantum computing its disruptive power.One of the most intriguing properties of quantum computing is its ability to process information using Qubits, the quantum analogues of classical bits.While a classical bit can only be in a single 0 or 1 state, a Qubit can simultaneously represent a 0, a 1, or any superposition of these states, allowing multiple calculations to be performed in parallel.This massively parallel processing capability is the basis for the potential superiority of quantum computers over their classical counterparts in a wide range of applications.The architecture of quantum computers is inherently different from classical computers.While the latter use transistors to store and manipulate information in bits, quantum computers use Qubits, which can be implemented in a variety of physical systems, such as atoms, ion traps, photons, superconductors or nuclear magnetic resonance.The manipulation of the Qubits is carried out through quantum gates, fundamental operations that transform the quantum state of the Qubits and allow quantum calculations to be carried out.Furthermore, to maintain quantum coherence, the control and isolation of the quantum system from its environment is crucial, posing significant challenges in terms of designing and building scalable and robust quantum systems.

Quantum Computing: Fundamentals, Progress, and Implications

Shashank Kumar Singh, Mr. Sambhav Agarwal, Mr. Rahul Gupta

Abstract: Quantum computing, an interdisciplinary field blending quantum mechanics and computer science, holds promise to revolutionize computational capabilities. Unlike classical computers, which utilize bits to process information in a binary fashion, quantum computers deploy qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition. This unique property, paired with entanglement, offers unparalleled processing power, positioning quantum computing to tackle problems deemed unsolvable by classical means. While heralded for potential applications in cryptography, drug discovery, and complex modeling, quantum computing faces challenges including decoherence, scalability, and error correction. This paper delves into the foundational principles of quantum computing, its current advancements, the vast applications it could revolutionize, and the significant challenges and societal implications it brings. Through comprehensive exploration, we aim to shed light on both the transformative potential of quantum computing and the hurdles that lay in its path.

Quantum Computing: Unleashing the Power of Superposition and Entanglement

Love Kumar, Md. Amir Khusru Akhtar, Manish Saxena, Dinesh Mishra, Vishal Khatri

Quantum computing, fuelled by the extraordinary properties of quantum bits (qubits) – superposition and entanglement, is on the cusp of a technological revolution. Superposition allows qubits to exist in multiple states simultaneously, accelerating problem-solving in cryptography, drug discovery, optimization, material science, and artificial intelligence. Quantum algorithms like Shor's and Grover's are poised to disrupt classical encryption and transform data analysis. Entanglement, a mysterious quantum connection, enhances quantum communication and error correction, while offering secure quantum teleportation. However, quantum computing faces critical challenges such as qubit stability, scaling, error correction, and quantum software development. As quantum technology advances, it promises to reshape industries and society, addressing challenges in fields like climate modelling, energy, finance, and logistics. The path forward requires collaboration, ethical considerations, and a commitment to responsible development. In this quantum era, the future is quantum, promising innovation, security, and transformative computational power.

A Light-Based Quantum-Computational Model of Genetics

Pravir Malik

Light imagined to exist at different constant speeds far greater than the known speed of c - 186,000 miles per second - offers a unique view of quanta and quantum computation. Analyses of such light further provides a unique point of view into the origin and possibilities of genetics. Genetics can be seen as having a diverse light-based functional, as opposed to a solely form-based foundation. Genetics can also be perceived as being the output of a persistent quantum-level computation. Such a modeling provides useful hypotheses into the structure of DNA, into processes of constructive and destructive mutation, and heredity. Further the relationship and possible impacts of the quantum- based processes of entanglement and superposition on genetics, and future possibilities due to practically infinite amount of information in antecedent layers of light can be constructed. Finally, such a view may suggest a non-invasive and constructive way in which to influence processes that underly genetics.
