The digital "demon": how to increase the quantum computer's power?



Quantum computers are powerful tools. But they are useful only if they can solve problems with a very high probability. The probability that the answer is right is not enough. The system must confirm that the answer is right. Or it cannot use in functional control systems. 

The system is useless if it cannot give the right answers or if the user cannot confirm the answer. And only one wrong answer means that the calculation goes wrong. If that thing happens in the nuclear power plants the results could be devastating. 

The system requires an error-detecting protocol. In some versions, the system uses two main lines for some calculations. That means if those two lines give the same answer. There is the possibility that the answer is right. In that model, the system uses two separate, individual operating units for making the calculations. 

In some versions, the system uses multiple qubits or groups of qubits for the calculations. The system makes the statistics about the answers. And that thing tells. That there is a possibility that the answer is right if the large majority of the group gives a certain value. 

Maxwell's demon is the thinking experiment that should introduce that the second law of thermodynamics does not always apply. The next part of the text includes a straight loan from Wikipedia. You can replace the word molecule by using the words "information" or "qubits"

"In the thought experiment, a demon controls a small massless door between two gas chambers. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction. " (Wikipedia, Maxwell's demon) 

The problem with Maxwell's demon is that there are no massless doors. All doors that can close the information flow from the hotter chamber to the lower energy chamber have mass or a certain energy level. That makes it researchers difficult to create quantum networks. 

If we want to send qubit through electric wires we must be sure that the gate or router will not transfer energy to the qubit. Or we must calculate or measure the energy that the gate or router transfer to qubit and remove it. Or otherwise, the system cannot download information from the qubits. So if the demon moves the gate. That thing moves energy to the information that travels through it. 




Image 2) Schematic figure of Maxwell's demon thought experiment (Wikipedia, Maxwell's demon) The image could be the figure of the quantum computer. The data travels from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. And the demon that sits on the computer collects data that travel through the gate. The demon is the input/output system that transports data between the user and the quantum system. 


The description of Maxwell's demon continues. "And only slow-moving molecules pass through in the other. Because the kinetic temperature of a gas depends on the velocities of its constituent molecules, the demon's actions cause one chamber to warm up and the other to cool down. This would decrease the total entropy of the system, without applying for any work, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics". (Wikipedia, Maxwell's demon) 

So how this thing has a connection with the quantum computer? We can think that a quantum computer has two chambers. Then the system drives information from the higher energy level or "hotter" chamber to the lower energy level or "colder" chamber. 

The system will create quantum entanglements between those chambers. And then, the system can drive information from the higher energy level into the lower energy level. Then the system starts to load information into electrons or some other qubits. It must make sure that the value of the electron is 0. If there are artifact values like 1 the system loses information. 

The system decreases the energy level of electrons or other particles to zero kelvin degrees. The zero kelvin degrees guarantee that the value of the electron is zero before the system starts to drive information to it. But the problem is that the temperature of the individual qubits is higher than zero kelvin. The system can create artifact value by using measurement tools. When the measurement tool touches the electron. It can increase its temperature. And that can destroy or mess up the information because the system cannot determine the zero point of the qubit.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
