Based on Photon Quantum Computing: A Memristor-Inspired Photonics Memory
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel approach to memory design leveraging the principles of photon quantum computing. We investigate the feasibility of utilizing photon quantum states, specifically their superposition and interference properties, to construct a high-density, high-speed memory device inspired by memristor technology. The core concept involves encoding information within the polarization state of photons, exploiting the inherent quantum properties to enable both storage and retrieval operations. Mathematical models are presented to describe the key processes involved, including photon-photon interactions and polarization state manipulation. The proposed architecture offers a potential pathway towards surpassing the limitations of conventional memory technologies, specifically regarding density and access speed, by harnessing the power of quantum mechanics. We explore the theoretical performance characteristics, including bit capacity, read/write energy consumption, and operational speed, and identify key challenges and potential avenues for future research. ---
