Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology — II: From the Double-Slit to Einstein’s Field Equations
Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology has been a long time in the making and approaches quantum possibility from a systems-thinking perspective.
In this post, I highlight the “book-ends,” so to speak, by emphasizing the essence of Chapter 1 — Surfacing a W(L) Approach to Quantum Computation — and Chapter 24 — Unifying Quantum Seeds and Spacetime, the very last chapter.
The starting hypothesis discussed in Chapter 1 is simple: there is a wholeness that exists at the quantum level, which manifests as fractal wholes in the emerging layers of matter and life. Furthermore, this wholeness and all fractal manifestations of it are quaternary in nature, leading to an alternative interpretation of quantum dynamics — Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics (QIQD). In subsequent blog posts, I plan to provide more detail about QIQD and the quantum technologies that can arise from it.
Here is the abstract for Chapter 1:
Abstract: Quantum computation can be approached from distinct perspectives, illustrated by the double-slit experiment. The conventional “bottom-up” view models quantum reality from the perspective of individual photons, leading to a manufactured “r-stratum” that leverages interpreted quantum properties like entanglement and superposition for computational speed-ups and optimizations, potentially enabling qubit arrangements for simulating atoms, molecules, and even whole-chip computation. However, a “top-down” perspective views photons as constructs carrying quantum properties derived from the light source’s wholeness, suggesting an alternative approach based on “l-properties” related to W(L) — the wholeness parsed across layers of matter and life. This W(L)-focused approach offers the potential for a deeper understanding of nature and the possibility of co-creation, representing a fundamentally different pathway in the pursuit of quantum computational possibilities beyond the r-stratum’s engineered quantum effects.
I use the double-slit experiment as a means to illustrate how, based on a different interpretation of light, a W(L) world can be built, and suggest that our world is in fact that — a W(L) world. Therefore, there is another and different way to navigate and leverage quantum behavior, which is moreover, central to dynamics at subsequent levels of matter and life.
This initial starting point must generate a new trajectory of development. The focus of Chapter 24 is to demonstrate that examining quantum behvaior from a QIQD perspective enables us to even perceive the quaternary structure within Einstein’s Field Equations and, additionally, to clarify a divergence term in the equation that highlights the role of the fourfold or quaternary seeds in the dynamics of spacetime, thus unifying the quantum realm with spacetime.
Here is the abstract for Chapter 24:
Abstract: This chapter proposes a conceptual bridge between general relativity and quantum dynamics by embedding aspects of the quaternary framework (QIQD) directly into the Einstein Field Equations (EFE). Building on the classical curvature–energy relationship outlined by EFE, the chapter introduces an additional divergence term, ∇·(Seed Properties), representing four quantum-functional aspects (Presence, Power, Knowledge, Harmony). By coupling these “seed dynamics” to traditional stress-energy terms, a modified EFE that potentially unifies macroscopic space-time curvature with microscopic quantum effects is obtained. The four seed properties collectively influence curvature, temporal evolution, vacuum-energy balance, and local material density, offering a novel lens into phenomena such as quantum-assisted gravitation and emergent spacetime structures. This framework also points to far-reaching technological applications: from more stable quantum computing and advanced superconductors to quantum-tuned navigation and AI systems. The resulting QIQD–EFE synthesis opens up new directions in both theoretical physics and engineering, suggesting that the interplay of quantum seed properties and space-time geometry can be harnessed for breakthroughs spanning cosmology, quantum gravity, and beyond.
