By treating the phonon anomalies of YBCO and the Moiré potentials of twisted graphene as isomorphic “Signals,ˮ we can derive universal design rules that apply to both. This unified view is essential for scaling quantum technologies from fragile 2D flakes to robust bulk crystals. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18465372
Evaluating #AI development by a benchmark is like thinking everything is a "particle" or that the answer to the universe is 42.
Instead of treating a “Cooper pair” as a new bosonic entity, we analyze it as a state of synchronization between fermionic workers mediated by bosonic signals. This mechanism allows us to quantify the “thermodynamic rent” associated with maintaining this synchronization in different environments. By identifying the signal as the primary coordination mechanism, we can design architectures that maximize the efficiency of information transfer. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18444229
In the standard model, superconductivity is explained by the formation of Cooper pairs, which are then treated as bosons. But there are no “pairs” in the ontological sense; there is only a state of synchronization between fermionic workers mediated by bosonic signals. This synchronization is what allows the workers to move without resistance, creating the macroscopic quantum coherence we observe. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18444229
The shortest distance between two points is NOT a straight line. It's a geodesic.
#Research in-progress: A "superconductivity quadrangle" for engineering topological computational substrates. Geometry forms the structural foundation, with a tensor coupling between pressure and geometry. By manipulating pressure as a synthetic gauge field rather than mechanical strain, it may be possible to achieve topological protection regimes inaccessible through geometry alone, effectively treating the superconducting substrate as an analogue gravity system.
Someone please remind me why we're measuring #QuantumComputing progress by qubits? I don't care how many logic gates my computer (or calculator) has: it either performs the calculation I need or not. Also, waveguide photonics...
This perspective ignores the fact that the “workers” (electrons) remain fermions even when their collective behavior is described by bosonic statistics. The Signal-Worker (S-W) framework, as proposed by Quni-Gudzinas (2026), seeks to restore this distinction by identifying the specific roles of constituents in the emergent regime. Without such a distinction, the field remains trapped in a cycle of creating new “particles” to explain every new phenomenon. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18444229
A reliance on effective theories is deeply rooted in a pragmatic tradition that prioritizes predictive utility over ontological clarity. In the standard model of superconductivity, for instance, the transition from individual fermionic electrons to collective bosonic Cooper pairs is often treated as a “magical” conversion rather than a complex synchronization of constituents.
The current paradigm of quantum computing is increasingly constrained by a reliance on emergent quasiparticle ontologies and “epistemic patches” that obscure the underlying ab initio dynamics of quantum materials. This paper proposes a radical realignment through the “Signal-Worker” (S-W) framework, which distinguishes between fundamental fermionic workers (electrons) and bosonic signals (photons/forces). https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18444229
Provost and Vallée established a rigorous Riemannian geometric framework for manifolds of quantum states. Their seminal contribution was the derivation of a metric tensor directly from the Hilbert space inner product, demonstrating that the statistical distance between nearby quantum states is intrinsically linked to the quantum fluctuations of physical observables (Provost & Vallée, 1980). This work moved beyond earlier, more abstract notions of projective Hilbert space.
Abstract concepts such as knowledge, consensus, and belief must have physical instantiations within any system that processes them https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18428950
In a standard Bloch sphere representation, the global phase of a quantum state is discarded as unphysical or hidden information. However, Hopf fibration reveals that this phase is the fiber of the bundle, and the hidden structure is the topological twisting of these fibers. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400094910_The_Topology_of_Quanta_Reconciling_Physical_Grounding_and_Mathematical_Abstraction_through_the_Hopf_Fibration
Quantum wavefunctions are sections of fiber bundles. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400094910_The_Topology_of_Quanta_Reconciling_Physical_Grounding_and_Mathematical_Abstraction_through_the_Hopf_Fibration
Euclidean assumptions of Hilbert space prove inadequate for representing entangled states and quantum fluctuations, necessitating a curved geometric framework that captures the true nonlinear structure of quantum state space.
