The Riemann Hypothesis, a cornerstone of number theory, remains one of the most persistent and challenging unsolved problems in mathematics. Its implications extend far beyond its immediate mathematical value, touching upon fundamental questions about the nature of space and the distribution of prime numbers. This paper explores a novel computational paradigm centered on quantum entanglement, proposing a method for exploring the Riemann Hypothesis space through a quantum superposition of geometries. We investigate the potential of this approach to identify subtle patterns and correlations that are currently obscured by classical computation, potentially offering a pathway to a deeper understanding of the hypothesis's implications. We outline a preliminary algorithm and discuss the theoretical implications of utilizing quantum entanglement to address this longstanding challenge.
The Riemann Hypothesis, a long-standing unsolved problem in mathematics, concerns the distribution of prime numbers. Despite extensive research, no definitive proof remains elusive. This paper explores a novel quantum algorithm designed to approximate the Riemann zeta function, aiming to provide exponential speedups over classical methods. We propose a hybrid quantum-classical approach, utilizing quantum superposition and entanglement to efficiently explore the zeta function's complex landscape, ultimately leading to a significant computational advantage. This research focuses on the fundamental potential of quantum computation to address this mathematical challenge.
Abstract The measurement problem has long been a fundamental challenge in quantum mechanics. The mainstream decoherence theory attributes the transition from quantum superposition to classical determinacy to the entanglement between the system and its environment. However, this theory still leaves several foundational issues unresolved: decoherence can only eliminate observable interference fringes but cannot explain why a single measurement yields only one definite outcome; nor can it fully account for the phenomena observed in recent attosecond tunneling experiments. The author first published the temporal relativity hypothesis on the Zenodo preprint platform on June 20, 2026[4]. This theory proposes that quantum superposition is not an intrinsic property of microscopic particles, but rather an apparent effect arising from the relative relationship between the temporal sampling frequency of the detection system and the evolution frequency of the quantum object. When the detector's temporal resolution frequency far exceeds the characteristic evolution frequency of the microscopic particle, the interference fringes from wavefunction superposition gradually disappear, and continuous classical trajectories become observable. On July 11, 2026, the author systematically proposed the qualitative three-stage criterion of temporal relativity within the original preprint framework (also published on Zenodo[8]): when the sampling frequency , the system exhibits classical determinacy; when , the system resides in a critical transition state; when , the system manifests as a quantum superposition state. The precise threshold corresponding to this ratio requires calibration through subsequent continuous attosecond imaging experiments, establishing a natural collaborative pathway between theory and experiment. The attosecond scanning tunneling experiment published by the University of Regensburg on July 3, 2026[3], is in strong agreement with the independent theoretical predictions and the experimentally designed predictions presented in the above preprint (June 20). Furthermore, after the publication of the author's Zenodo preprint on July 11, 2026[8], it was found that the experimental results from the Weizmann Institute of Science group in early 2026[5] are also highly isomorphic with the three-stage evolution predicted by this hypothesis. This paper is an advanced revision building upon two previous versions published by the author on the Zenodo preprint platform: the initial temporal relativity hypothesis incorporating the concept of "consciousness" was proposed on June 20, 2026[4]; the July 11, 2026 version[8] removed the consciousness concept and established a purely physical "detector temporal resolution frequency" qualitative framework with the explicit three-stage model; this version fully inherits the qualitative three-stage model while adding a complete unified mathematical framework—built upon the three pillars of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, time-domain sampling boundary conditions, and critical phase criteria—upgrading the theory from a qualitative hypothesis to a complete mathematical system capable of quantitative computation and experimental data fitting.
