- Quantum Computation Latency-Energy Tradeoff and the JPCUB Metric
Quantum computation faces a critical tradeoff between wall-clock latency and energy consumption, with faster gates and parallel syndrome extraction often increasing power demands. This work investigates whether minimizing latency necessarily raises energy costs, leveraging the Ma
- Revising the Joules-per-Compute (JPCUB) Benchmark: Normalizing Energy Efficiency by Logical-Qubit Operations
Current joules-per-compute (JPCUB) benchmarks normalize energy consumption per physical gate, conflating logical operations with error-correction overhead. This obscures trade-offs between qubit connectivity, gate fidelity, and fault-tolerant design, hindering equitable compariso
- A Lower Bound on Energy Cost per Logical-Qubit Operation in Surface-Code Quantum Error Correction
Surface-code quantum error correction (QEC) is pivotal for fault-tolerant quantum computing, but its energy efficiency remains underexplored. This work derives a practical lower bound on the energy cost per logical-qubit operation, accounting for gate-fidelity decay’s impact on c
- Error Correction Is a Landauer Machine: The Thermodynamic Floor of Quantum Error-Correction Overhead
Every cycle of active (measurement-based) quantum error correction is an erasure process priced by Landauer's principle at no less than kT ln 2 per erased bit; correction overhead therefore converges to a positive thermodynamic floor, (n-k)/k * kT ln 2 per logical qubit per round

The JPCUB Competitive Landscape v2.0 benchmarked 17 qubit-based quantum computing platforms across a single system-level energy-efficiency metric: joules per solution (J/sol). All 17 platforms use two-level quantum systems (qubits). This paper extends the JPCUB framework to qudit

Maity et al. (arXiv:2608.03944, 2026) proved that quantum error correction and
Quantum Darwinism cannot coexist above a critical logical fidelity $F_L > 0.874$

ACRP-06: Tests UF paper C7.3 on 8 additional codes. Golay CSS confirmed v_p^max=28; all other stabilizer codes cluster at random baseline (1-6). C7.3 bound to Golay-type self-dual codes.
- The History and Future of Measurement Stratigraphy, Number Theory, and Valuation Theory
[We propose a unified framework — the Stratigraphy of Measurement — that reinterprets the history of number systems as a sequence of expanding distinction operations. Each era adds a new enclosure: marking ($\\mathbb{N}$), comparing ratios ($\\mathbb{Q}$), convergent sequences ($

Three-axis framework: Depth (computable reals), Breadth (non-computable reals — physically vacuous), Valuation (p-adic completions as information carriers). Falsifiable predications for QEC, gauge structure.

- The Adelic ZBW Programme: ZBW-Majorana Hypothesis, Ostrowski-QEC Synthesis, and Cross-Programme Consilience
The structural underdetermination of the position operator in relativistic quantum mechanics -- manifested at the Archimedean place as zitterbewegung (the Newton-Wigner no-go) and at p-adic places as a discrete Bruhat-Tits observable -- arises from a single representation-theoret
- Consilience Between Physics and Number Theory: Convergent Theses from Ostrowski's Theorem to Adelic Quantum Mechanics
We synthesize convergent evidence from physics (quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, zitterbewegung, quantum error correction, the Standard Model mass spectrum) and number theory (Ostrowski's theorem, Tate's thesis, the Riemann zeta function, Bruhat-Tits buildings, the adele
- Vanishing ZBW Signal: The ZBW-Majorana Hypothesis as a Unified Framework for Topological Fermion Distinction
The ZBW-Majorana hypothesis, developed across four companion papers (P1--P4), establishes that Zitterbewegung (ZBW) --- the rapid trembling motion of Dirac fermions at the Compton scale --- is a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological observable that distinguishes Dirac from Majorana fermions

The Adelic Cross-Domain Program maps the architecture of the Standard Model onto the geometry of Bruhat–Tits trees — the p-adic analogues of hyperbolic space. The fine-structure constant α, the renormalization group, quantum error correction, the Efimov effect, and the Standard M
- Holographic QEC as AdS/CFT RG Flow on Bruhat–Tits Trees
Tasks X3.1 and X3.2 established bosonic QEC as RG fixed-point subspaces on Bruhat–Tits trees. Task X3.3 completes the trilogy by showing that this structure is holographic: the Bruhat–Tits tree $\mathcal{T}_p$ is the $p$-adic analog of anti-de Sitter space, tensor networks on $\m

X3.3 — Resource-commensurable comparison of bosonic codes vs surface codes using photons/logical-qubit metric at p_L=10^-6. Bosonic codes require 5-40x fewer photons and ~100x fewer modes. Novel claim: HO as QM IR attractor implies bosonic codes are the native encoding.
