QNFO Papers

Open research library

Papers you can read, cite and question

710 papers from the QNFO program, filed on nine shelves by the reader each one is written for: energy per answer, error correction, physics, numbers and p-adics, logic and formalism, AI and knowledge, autonomous systems, assessments, and cross-cutting essays. Every page renders its mathematics and can be questioned in place. How a living paper works.

    4D Harper‑Hofstadter Zero‑Modes in Synthetic‑Frequency Microring Lattices

    Synthetic‑frequency dimensions enable on‑chip frequency‑comb transport that is immune to scattering loss, but experimental demonstrations have been limited to one‑dimensional lattices. We fill this gap by analytically mapping a driven 10 × 10 microring array onto a four‑dimensional Harper‑Hofstadter…

    THz-Driven Synthetic-Dimension Lattices in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate: Thermal-Photon Occupation Limits and the Operating-Point Criterion at 3.5 THz

    Synthetic-dimension photonics uses the frequency modes of a single optical waveguide as the sites of an artificial lattice, promising high-dimensional photonic circuits without three-dimensional fabrication. Progress toward interaction-capable synthetic lattices in thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN)…

    Parity-Protected Superconducting Qubits at 4 K: A Reconciled Thermodynamic Error-Budget Analysis

    Scalable superconducting quantum computing is conventionally operated at millikelvin temperatures, where the cooling power available from dilution refrigerators is severely limited. This paper tests the conjecture that a thermodynamic bottleneck at millikelvin temperatures could be relieved by…

    Thermal Quantum Sensing at High Temperature: Exact Fisher‑Information Bounds, Universal Metrics, and the Work Cost of Quadratic Signals

    Thermal fluctuations are usually treated as a nuisance that degrades quantum‑enhanced sensing, yet for certain signal encodings heat can improve the metrological response of a probe. We study thermal quantum sensors governed by a Hamiltonian $H$ and subjected to a unitary signal…

    Epistemic Noise as Computational Resource

    The scaling of quantum information processors is currently bottlenecked by the “isolationist” paradigm, which treats environmental decoherence as an irreversible entropy increase that must be suppressed. This manuscript proposes a radical engineering shift grounded in the Superdeterministic…

    Spectral Benchmarking of Holographic Quantum Simulations

    The simulation of quantum gravity on near-term quantum processors is hindered by a critical tension between hardware feasibility and physical fidelity, creating an “Artifact Zone” where simplified models produce misleading, non-physical results. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a…

    Information-Theoretic Reformation of Physics

    Physics must be reoriented around information-theoretic constraints rather than quantum mechanical assumptions. This reorientation requires a critical reevaluation of Planck’s constant as a curve-fitting parameter and the establishment of finite information capacity as a new axiom. The historical…

    Wave-Built World

    The observable universe, in all its astonishing diversity and intricate organization, is not a static collection of isolated objects but a ceaseless dance of dynamic processes. From the quantum fluctuations that shape the very fabric of spacetime itself to the rhythmic swing of pendulums, the…
