Envisioning A Light-Based Quantum-Computational Nano-Cyborg

Pravir Malik

Published Jun 1, 2022• 4 citations

Abstract

By viewing light as a symmetrical, multi-layered construct, it is possible to envision a new genre of nano-cyborgs. In general cyborgs can be considered as a portmanteau of cybernetic and organic, and therefore as an entity consisting of both organic and mechatronic parts. However, in the multi-layered model of light subtle information existing in antecedent layers of light can be thought of as materializing through a process of quantization, that subsequently would require a nano-cyborg to interface with it, make sense of it, and act on it. Further quantum-level dynamics would necessitate nano-cyborgs of a tunneling type, annealing type, superposition type, and entanglement type, amongst others, that would have practical applications at nano-levels of different granularity. Such nano-cyborgs are envisioned to be built leveraging computational stratum at different levels of granularity ranging from the electromagnetic level, to the quantum particle level, to the level of atoms, to the level of molecular plans in cells. Immediate application areas of such light-based quantum-computational nano-cyborgs are envisioned to be in medical technology, material sciences, and alteration of genetic-type information, amongst others.

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.

Roadmap on quantum nanotechnologies

Arne Laucht, F. Hohls, Niels Ubbelohde +26 more

Quantum phenomena are typically observable at length and time scales smaller than those of our everyday experience, often involving individual particles or excitations. The past few decades have seen a revolution in the ability to structure matter at the nanoscale, and experiments at the single particle level have become commonplace. This has opened wide new avenues for exploring and harnessing quantum mechanical effects in condensed matter. These quantum phenomena, in turn, have the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate, compute and probe the nanoscale world. Here, we review developments in key areas of quantum research in light of the nanotechnologies that enable them, with a view to what the future holds. Materials and devices with nanoscale features are used for quantum metrology and sensing, as building blocks for quantum computing, and as sources and detectors for quantum communication. They enable explorations of quantum behaviour and unconventional states in nano- and opto-mechanical systems, low-dimensional systems, molecular devices, nano-plasmonics, quantum electrodynamics, scanning tunnelling microscopy, and more. This rapidly expanding intersection of nanotechnology and quantum science/technology is mutually beneficial to both fields, laying claim to some of the most exciting scientific leaps of the last decade, with more on the horizon.

On the quantum theory of light interacting with nano-materials

Masud Mansuripur

The fundamental processes of absorption, stimulated and spontaneous emission, and elastic as well as inelastic scattering involving light and atoms, molecules, and nano-particles have been studied for decades using both classical and quantum theories. While providing an overview of the subject, this paper presents a streamlined approach to studying atom-photon interactions in the context of modern quantum optics in the hope of providing guidance for applications in the general area of molecular and nano-photonic machines.

A Light-based Interpretation of Schrodinger's Wave Equation and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle with Implications on Quantum Computation

Pravir Malik

Quantum computation as currently conceived is based on the largely unproven Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. By viewing light as a multi-layered, symmetrical construct though, it is possible to interpret quantum-level dynamics assumed as fundamental, differently. Hence, looking at Schrodinger's Wave Equation and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle from the point of view of light, it becomes possible to understand quantum-level dynamics as an outcome of a multi-layered, symmetry-based model of light. Such a different view of quantum-level dynamics suggests a different way to conceive of quantum computation. As such, Schrodinger's Wave Equation can be viewed as an arbitration to take information from behind the quantum-veil that may exist in antecedent layers of light, and through such arbitration or rate of change of the wave-function, compute it into material existence. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle suggests that meta-level function seeking to precipitate or to be arbitrated into material existence may take different form while still fulfilling the intent of the meta-level function. Quantum computation, therefore, can be conceived as a creative as opposed to a solely constructive process. The object of quantum computation in such an interpretation of quantum phenomena is nothing other than to continue to create something new, or to continue to enhance materialization of meta-level function, rather than to simply construct based on regurgitating programming-based instruction.
