How to Get IP At Minimum Risk On Next Big Wave in Quantum Information Science and Technology (QuIST)

1.       Today’s quantum computing is as exciting, but as narrow and as limited, as the old AI of the 1960s. Since about 2008, a massive new wave of deep learning and neural networks (sometimes called “the new AI”) has surged far beyond those old limits. A similar new wave is now clear, but an early stage, in quantum computing and  in QuIST as a whole. Because this new wave is at an early stage, someone with resources and foresight could not only lead but get a huge share of the IP, by taking a very small risk.

2.        Should you believe me? In the 1960’s, when the AI world agreed with Minsky that neural networks could never be made to work, I re-examined the mathematical foundations, changed the paradigm, and led the NSF research which led to the empirical demonstrations which finally broke through and past the conservative culture of AI in academia. In December 2016, I gave the keynote plenary talk at the world’s top symposium on the next wave in deep learning, where Google’s folks also spoke; for  a summary of that story (and a link to Sergey Brin’s video talk), see http://drpauljohn.blogspot.com/2017/01/deep-learning-and-new-ai-you-aint-seen.html.  To achieve a similar breakthrough in QuIST, it is again essential to go back to mathematical basics, and use a new paradigm – which I have in fact developed.

3.       What ARE the basics of QuIST today? The DXC blog citing Seth Lloyd reviews some of the practical ideas very well, but to see where it came from, look at: https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2017/8/dirac-medallists-2017.aspx. Today’s paradigm for quantum computing, based on digital logic and qubits, came from the work of David Deutsch of Oxford on quantum universal Turing machines. Crudely, Deutsch said: “Parallel computing is much more powerful than sequential, but what if we can harness the power of parallel UNIVERSES all working together?  By extending the many-world interpretation (“MWI”) of quantum mechanics, I can make this tangible and real. Here is how..”

4.       Deutsch’s MWI makes two key assumptions: (1) the wave function ψ(t) describing the state of all the universes at time t evolves according to “the canonical Schrodinger equation”; and (2) when the quantum system hits a nonquantum, classical object, it behaves according to Heisenberg’s old “collapse of the wave function.”

5.       In 2008, I published a paper in the top peer-reviewed journal, International Journal of Theoretical Physics (see https://arxiv.org/abs/0801.1234) reassessing his MWI. Heisenberg’s collapse model simply does not follow logically from the Schrodinger dynamics and the boundary conditions – but a new class of “measurement models” does. The old model and the new ones do equally well in predicting well-known tests in quantum optics, but predict radically different results in either of two new experiments which could be done at RELATIVELY low cost.

6.       Two months ago, as I developed the design for the second experiment, which is easier and more amazing, I posted it at an obscure web site, http://vixra.org/abs/1707.0343, just to establish priority. If the Schrodinger dynamics are correct, the new measurement models should work where the old ones do not, and demonstrate two main things: (1) that information can be sent backwards in time and faster than light; and (2) that the famous “Bell’s Theorem” experiments do not rule out finding a more fundamental local realistic model of physics, in the spirit of Einstein.

7.       If the experiment gives you confidence, before its wide publication, it becomes possible to start taking out IP on a wide range of applications I will not discuss so widely until the proof is there that they would work. These include: applications in communication and imaging through time (see www.werbos.com/NATO_terrorism.pdf, published in a NATO book for a workshop on predetection of terrorism); applications in a whole new level of deep learning and AI (see Werbos, Paul J., and Ludmilla Dolmatova. "Analog quantum computing (AQC) and the need for time-symmetric physics."Quantum Information Processing (2015): 1-15, www.werbos.com/triphoton.pdf); and applications in time reversal of the flow of free energy and energy dissipation. These would also build on Lloyd’s continuous QC and the quantum Boltzmann approach of Dwave and Google, but go further.

==============================

    Context:

    This was on just one page in Word. Originally I intended it for use only in very restricted discussions, but the discussions have expanded enough that I feel it is appropriate now to post in an obscure blog. (There have been other discussions going a bit further.) The new rules of the game (aka a "rigged system") give me very powerful incentives NOT to post or even type details of the apps; I may seem reticent,  but I know folks sitting on other technologies even more dramatic and market-ready who have chosen to be FAR more reticent because of the growing problem of trust.  But in fact, the people who would be needed for the deployment of the new technology mostly will not look at it seriously UNTIL  one or both of the new experiments validate it; sadly, everything I have seen about those who already believe in retrocausal physics lately make me deeply embarrassed and worried.  The LOGIC is overwhelming, but the diversities of what humans believe seem unrelated to logic both pro and con. Just as EMPIRICAL DEMONSTRATIONS were what finally freed deep learning from a morass of prejudice and illusion, so too COULD they do so here. (Not that there is true freedom from illusion in either case; the liberation is towards more optimistic illusions, illusions which are empowering but also require caution to prevent abuse and risk.)
