Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology — I: Overview

Generated with DALL-E

Grateful that ‘Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology’ (published by Springer Nature) is now available in print and digitally.

This book took 25 years to create—a journey that began with my deep interest in systems thinking and a desire to understand the fractal nature of complex organizational life. During that time, I focused on viewing individuals, teams, corporations, economies—even entire civilizations—as components of interconnected behavioral systems. That early work evolved into a trilogy published by SAGE (2009–2015), which explored these concepts without relying on mathematics.

But in 2015, I felt compelled to enhance the fractal framework with a more rigorous mathematical foundation. As I developed it, something remarkable happened: the framework revealed itself to be far more universal than I had anticipated, extending into biology, chemistry, and physics. This realization led to The Cosmology of Light, a ten-volume series (2017–2020) that explored how the non-material gives rise to the material — how form emerges from formlessness. Much of this work unfolded in solitude, driven by an intuition I couldn’t ignore.

Then the explosion of quantum computing began, and I realized it was time to connect this inner journey with the rapidly evolving technological world.

In the Cosmology of Light, quantum computation isn’t just a scientific tool — it’s depicted as a continuous and creative process within nature itself. The quantum layer isn’t separate from life and matter; it serves as the foundation from which they emerge. This shift in perspective opens up vast new possibilities.

In Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology, I take the initial steps in transforming that vision into concrete quantum frameworks. The book presents new mathematical models, logic systems, hardware architectures, algorithms, and real-world applications that could redefine a different kind of quantum future, and is structured into six parts.

Part I: Foundations

Part I suggests that our understanding of the basic principles of quantum mechanics is incomplete by taking a fresh look at the double-slit experiment, exploring a quaternary fractal pattern in matter and life, and introducing a foundational mathematics for understanding quantum dynamics differently. This section challenges the conventional probabilistic view of the quantum realm, proposing an approach of qualified determinism that could better align with the observed order in nature.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 1: Surfacing a W(L) Approach to Quantum Computation
• Chapter 2: The Origins of a Fourfold Pattern
• Chapter 3: Mapping the Fourfold Pattern to Quantum Space
• Chapter 4: The Mathematics of Qualified Determinism

Part II: Reinterpretations

Part II explores reinterpretations of some fundamental anchors of quantum mechanics, providing deeper insights into Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, Schrödinger’s Wave Equation, Quanta, and Euler’s Identity. This section aims to build on the theoretical and mathematical foundation established in the first part, suggesting that these reinterpretations of foundational anchors will enable a more comprehensive (W(L)) understanding of the quantum realm’s possibilities.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 5: Uncertainty Principle and Loss of Information
• Chapter 6: Quanta and Quantum Object Code
• Chapter 7: Schrodinger’s Equation and Evolution of Quantum Systems
• Chapter 8: Reimagining Euler’s Endless Wave

Part III: Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics

Part III introduces an alternative framework for understanding quantum dynamics — the Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics (QIQD). QIQD builds on discussions throughout the book, connecting them while considering a simulation of a simple hypothetical atom. It also presents the idea of ‘quantum certainty’, suggesting a key mechanism for altering the nature of computation.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 9: Simulation of Space, Time and Probabilities
• Chapter 10: Simulation of a Hypothetical Simple Atom
• Chapter 11: Quantum Certainty
• Chapter 12: Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics (QIQD)

Part IV: QIQD Dynamics at Different Levels of Granularity

Part IV leverages key aspects of QIQD to illustrate how this influences the architectures of various layers of reality, from the electromagnetic spectrum to macromolecules in cells.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 13: QIQD Dynamics at the Level of the Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Chapter 14: QIQD Dynamics at the Level of Quantum Particles
• Chapter 15: QIQD Dynamics at the Level of Atoms
• Chapter 16: QIQD Dynamics at the Level of Macromolecules in Cells

Part V: Prelude to a QIQD Design

Part V begins to outline the philosophy of a QIQD-based quantum architecture regarding the types of gates, the mathematics involved, the logic required, and the QIQD algorithms necessary to make such a quantum computer a reality.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 17: Key Quantum Computing Principles in QIQD
• Chapter 18: Envisioning Generators and Qibits
• Chapter 19: Envisioning Other QIQD Hardware
• Chapter 20: QIQD Algorithms

Part VI: Applications

Part VI explores the practical implications of QIQD, suggesting new technologies that could emerge from this enhanced understanding of quantum dynamics. This part introduces the detection of a quantum-based energy source, the observation of new structures at the physical, chemical, or biological levels, and a QIQD nano-based device that can operate based on such sensing and detection. The section concludes by conceptually integrating QIQD-based quantum dynamics with the structure of spacetime as envisioned by Einstein’s Field Equations, also opening the door to QIQD-based technologies that surpass anything we have imagined.

Chapters include:

• Chapter 21: Detection of Organizing Quantum Energy
• Chapter 22: Sensing Emergence of New Structure
• Chapter 23: A QIQD Nano-based Device
• Chapter 24: Unifying Quantum Seeds and Spacetime

In summary, this book investigates the promise of quantum computing while reexamining its foundational principles to suggest new possibilities beyond current paradigms. By challenging probabilistic interpretations and introducing a framework of qualified determinism, it offers a novel perspective on quantum dynamics and computation. The book explores theoretical concepts, such as a quaternary fractal pattern, and proposes an alternative understanding of the quantum layer through the Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics (QIQD). It ties these ideas to practical applications, envisioning transformative technologies for detection of quantum-based energy systems, room temperature superconductors, novel QIQD nano-devices, and others. Through a structured exploration of foundational ideas, reinterpretations, and futuristic applications, this work aims to expand the frontiers of quantum technology.
