Quantum Computing Without Heat: An Implication of the Three States of Light Theory

Marcus Blackwell

This short paper builds on the Three States of Light theory (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20132207). It explores the implications for quantum computing, showing that heat generation is a property of Crystallized Light (matter-based qubits), not Bound Light (photonic quibits). Photonic quantum computing is therefore intrinsically lossless. A speculative third regime (Unbound Light) would generate zero heat. The paper does not claim to invent photonic quantum computing. It cites prior work (KLM 2001, O'Brien 2007, Rudolf 2017, etc.) and uses the Three States of Light framework to explain why photonic qubits have inherent advantages over matter-based qubits. Keywords: quantum computing, photonic quantum computing, three states of light, Bound Light, Crystallized Light, heat dissipation, Unbound Light Version 1 - May 12, 2026

Feynman Machine: A Geometric Computational Machinery Based on the Path Integration

Yoshiteru Ishida

This paper proposes a framework for a new quantum computation based on the Feynman's path integral. The Feynman's path integral has been studied in quantum physics, however, the computational machinery may be used in universal computations. The light path design will be done in a light geometric automaton. As examples, we will present the primality test of an integer (for the deterministic case of light particle) and the stable marriage problem (for the probabilistic case of light wave).
