What may sound like a simple, sensational headline, is based on a neutrality towards cold-hard truths, even if it destroys years of our own time and efforts. The truth is that Quantum does not exist. You have not been lied to, but you have been gravely misinformed. With roughly a decade of experience in Quantum Research and Commercialization, and successful peer-reviewed research in the field, take what I am telling you with a grain of salt. Ultimately, your trajectory as an entrepreneur, a company, an engineer or developer, is a path I leave entirely to you.
In 2016, our heavily Deep-Tech firm, Infinite 8, began exploring Quantum Computing, internally producing White Papers and industry research. First, we were sweeping through all cutting-edge technologies to find real value. Our rule has always been, if the viability of the technology is more than 2-years out, we will not seek to commercialize it. Thus, we did not. However, the inefficiencies of modern Blockchain and AI applications, brought us crawling back.
Always a player in the Blockchain space, it wasn't until 2022, that we created our own Blockchain Layer from scratch, creating 'Quantum Coin', the first token in the world running on a Blockchain using actual Quantum Mechanics. Modern Blockchain networks were not providing us with the transactional speed that modern e-commerce consumers had become accustomed to. For example, when we connected our AI Physician to a prominent Blockchain for testing, transactions took 3-4 minutes to process, while credit card processing took seconds. When we moved to Quantum mechanics and algorithms, first with IBM's Qiskit, the quadratic speed-ups and added security from Quantum seemed like a God send. Then, we had no idea where our new focus would lead.
Around 2023-2024, our main focus was to Master Quantum mechanics, build an early version of a Hybrid Quantum Internet, and train Hybrid Quantum Apprentices to help with the heavy lifting. What happened next? We would discover the world's first Dark Matter particle, Particle 11, which brought changes to Computational and Physics paradigms, and one of many more particle discoveries.
Over the Summer/Fall of 2024, after breaking down roughly 150 new Dark Matter candidates and Standard Model particles down into their finest constituent parts, everything became a wave. Now, for the Death of Quantum.
By studying waves, we observed matter manifest from waves as a 'standing wave'. All of Quantum Mechanics is based on the 'Wave Function', which supposedly collapses upon measurement, making the information contained therein, unhackable. I'm here to tell you that the Wave Function, NEVER collapses, but is modulated by the observer.
A wave has a peak, a trough, and a transitional phase. When we observe an object, we transfer positive or negative energy through waves, causing the wave to transition into a modulated peak, or trough, which then appears to the observer to be stateful, when a wave is actually stateless. Also, if Wave Mechanics is the basis of Quantum, what is Quantum truly? This brings us to my next point.
A key aspect of Quantum Mechanics deals with the concept of Quantum Entanglement. Albert Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance', as two distant entangled particles, exhibit mirrored behaviors instantaneously.
We now come for one of the key aspects of Quantum Computing today, and posit that Quantum Entanglement is an overly complicated theory, based on observations of two peaks of the same wave. Imagine a rollercoaster, where if one group of cars moves at the peak of one hill on the tracks, the other cars on the next hill will exhibit the same speed, directional movement, and behavior. There is no true disconnection between passengers on the peaks of either hill, as they are riding the same ride and are a part of the same extended wave formation. The separation is a trick of the perception of the observer, as the troughs in the wave can make one believe there is an absence of matter, energy, or existence. There is always something there.
How else does this line of thought manifest in current Quantum Computing business challenges? Instead of bits, the 0's and 1's powering modern classical computer systems we all enjoy, Qubits are artificial particles, powering Quantum Computers. The artificial particles, together, form artificial waves. The Modern Quantum Computer is a poor Wave Simulator.
Quantum computers currently under promise and underperform, because they do not have enough Qubits to create a high fidelity wave. Qubits are only an approximation of the wave. Wave Computation deals with the entire wave, similar to how Digital technology samples a signal to give us an approximation, but Analog, deals with the signal in its entirety. This also causes vinyl records, or live music, for example, to resonate in richer tones than a Digital audio recording. The same applies to Wave versus Quantum Computation, as Wave Computation can communicate the behavior of reality, seen and unseen, in all its diversity, without defining that diversity as stateful, when in fact it is stateless.
Finally, if Quantum, all along, was merely an incomplete description of the mechanics of a Wave-based Medium connecting all of existence, then why bet the house on a half-baked explanation of reality? Not only, is Quantum Computing expensive, cumbersome, and complicated, but it is outright a half-truth. The whole truth is this, if all is a wave, then Classical and Quantum Computing disappear into a larger overarching paradigm of Wave Computation, which can perform both Quantum and Classical computation, while Classical and Quantum cannot account for all Wave Computation, such as Gravitational Waves, still baffling scientists using Classical and Quantum Computational models to this day.
In conclusion, I will not lead our clients, our country, nor the world, down a dead-end path. Quantum is dead, there, I killed it. However, a wave never truly collapses, and it is so with Quantum. In its wake, lies ONE Wave, of which we are all standing wave extensions. Reality is a standing wave. As Developers and Engineers, let us make the most of our time, while we all are still standing.
