**UNITED STATES PATENT APPLICATION** **TITLE OF THE INVENTION** Analog Quantum Observation and Simulation System Operating at Elevated Temperatures **CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS** This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/751,887, filed on January 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. **BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION** **Field of the Invention** [0001] The present invention relates generally to quantum information processing and analog computing, and more specifically to systems and methods for observing quantum states without inducing collapse and simulating their dynamics using analog computing principles, particularly at temperatures above cryogenic ranges. **Description of the Related Art** [0002] Quantum computing holds immense promise for solving problems intractable for classical computers. Traditional approaches to quantum computing typically rely on digital architectures utilizing binary qubits (states represented as 0, 1, or a superposition thereof). A fundamental challenge in these systems is the phenomenon of measurement-induced state collapse, where the act of observing a qubit forces its superposition into a definite binary outcome, destroying the quantum information encoded in the superposition. This collapse limits the types of quantum processes that can be directly observed and simulated and necessitates complex error correction schemes to maintain coherence. [0003] Furthermore, maintaining quantum coherence, the ability of a quantum system to remain in a superposition or entangled state, is extremely fragile. Environmental interactions, such as thermal noise, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference, rapidly cause decoherence, leading to the loss of quantum properties. Existing quantum computing systems typically require extreme isolation measures, such as operation at millikelvin cryogenic temperatures or in ultra-high vacuum environments, which are costly, energy-intensive, and pose significant scalability challenges. [0004] While classical analog computers utilize continuous signals, they lack quantum coherence and the ability to represent and process quantum states. Existing quantum simulators often approximate quantum processes using discrete qubit models, failing to capture the continuous, probabilistic nature of natural quantum dynamics. [0005] Research into alternative computing paradigms, such as neuromorphic computing and bio-inspired systems, has explored leveraging biological structures that appear to exhibit quantum phenomena at ambient temperatures. However, integrating these biological or bio-inspired concepts with artificial quantum systems in a controlled and scalable manner to overcome decoherence and enable analog quantum processing remains an unmet need. Specifically, prior art has not effectively combined non-destructive quantum observation techniques with analog simulation hardware that incorporates bio-inspired structures and operates at elevated temperatures using novel shielding mechanisms to preserve non-collapsing probabilistic states. [0006] Therefore, a need exists for a system and method that can observe quantum processes without measurement-induced collapse, simulate these processes using analog computing principles that preserve continuous probabilistic states, and operate effectively at temperatures significantly above cryogenic levels, thereby addressing the limitations of traditional digital quantum computing and existing simulation techniques. **BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION** [0007] The present invention provides a novel system and method for analog quantum observation and simulation that overcomes the limitations of the prior art by enabling the observation of quantum states without collapse and their simulation using continuous-variable analog processing, particularly at temperatures above conventional cryogenic requirements. [0008] In one aspect, the invention provides a quantum information processing system operating at a temperature above 77 Kelvin. The system comprises a non-destructive quantum observation module configured to receive quantum states from an external quantum system and output corresponding continuous-variable probabilistic data representations without inducing state collapse. The system further includes an analog quantum simulation module comprising a network of interconnected quantum components configured to process these continuous-variable probabilistic data representations through continuous-variable dynamics. Crucially, this network includes bio-inspired structures derived from or mimicking biological microtubules. The system also incorporates a liquid dielectric shielding system enclosing at least a portion of the analog quantum simulation module, configured to maintain quantum coherence of the interconnected quantum components at a temperature above 77 Kelvin by maintaining ordered liquid structures within the liquid dielectric. [0009] The invention represents a significant technical advancement by providing a practical approach to analog quantum computing that avoids the state collapse inherent in traditional measurement and operates at substantially higher temperatures than conventional superconducting or trapped-ion systems. The integration of bio-inspired structures within the analog simulation hardware, combined with the novel liquid dielectric shielding, provides an unexpected synergy that enhances quantum coherence in a manner not suggested by prior art focused solely on extreme cooling or vacuum. This combination offers a non-obvious solution to the long-standing problem of maintaining quantum coherence in scalable, practical systems operating outside of deep cryogenic environments. The system's ability to process continuous probabilistic states directly aligns with the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics, offering a more natural and potentially more powerful simulation capability compared to discrete digital approximations. [0010] In further aspects, the invention includes specific implementations of the bio-inspired structures, rheostat-like quantum control mechanisms for modulating the analog dynamics, and a hybrid interface for encoding and decoding the continuous-variable probabilistic data representations. A corresponding method for simulating a quantum process using these system components is also provided. **DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION** [0011] The present invention provides a system and method for analog quantum observation and simulation that leverages non-destructive measurement, continuous-variable processing, bio-inspired architectures, and liquid dielectric shielding to operate effectively at temperatures significantly above conventional cryogenic levels, such as above 77 Kelvin (the boiling point of liquid nitrogen). [0012] Referring now to the components of the system, in one embodiment, the quantum information processing system operating at a temperature above 77 Kelvin comprises a non-destructive quantum observation module, an analog quantum simulation module, and a liquid dielectric shielding system. [0013] The non-destructive quantum observation module is configured to receive quantum states from an external quantum system. This external quantum system could be any system exhibiting quantum properties, such as individual particles (e.g., electrons, photons), molecular systems, or other quantum processors. The observation module is specifically designed to capture information about the quantum states without inducing the state collapse typically associated with projective measurements. This can be achieved using techniques such as Quantum Non-Demolition (QND) measurements or methods inspired by the holographic principle. [0014] In a QND measurement approach, the observation module interacts with the quantum system in a way that allows inference of a property of the state (e.g., spin, momentum, entanglement) without significantly disturbing the state itself or collapsing its superposition. This can involve coupling the system to a probe particle that becomes entangled with the system, where measuring the probe particle provides information about the system without a direct, collapsing interaction with the system's measured observable. [0015] In a holographic principle-inspired approach, the observation module may capture information encoded on a boundary or periphery of the quantum system, where this boundary information is sufficient to reconstruct properties of the bulk quantum state without needing to perform internal, potentially collapsing measurements. [0016] The output of the non-destructive quantum observation module is not a binary outcome (0 or 1) but rather a continuous-variable probabilistic data representation of the observed quantum state. This representation captures the full probabilistic distribution or entanglement structure of the state before collapse. Examples of such representations include voltage waveforms, phase/amplitude signals, or complex-valued data structures representing probability amplitudes or density matrices. [0017] The analog quantum simulation module is coupled to the non-destructive quantum observation module and is configured to receive and process these continuous-variable probabilistic data representations. Unlike digital quantum computers that discretize states into qubits and perform gate operations, this module operates based on analog computing principles, mirroring the continuous dynamics of natural quantum systems. It comprises a network of interconnected quantum components. These components are physical systems capable of exhibiting quantum behavior and whose interactions and evolution can be controlled in a continuous manner. Examples of such components include elements within superconducting circuits (e.g., Josephson junctions, resonators), photonic systems (e.g., optical parametric oscillators, waveguides), or other continuous-variable quantum systems. [0018] A key feature of the analog quantum simulation module is that its network of interconnected quantum components includes bio-inspired structures. These structures are derived from or mimic biological microtubules, which are protein polymers found in biological cells. Microtubules are hypothesized to possess properties conducive to sustaining quantum coherence, such as specific geometric structures (e.g., the 13-protofilament topology) that support coherent vibrational modes, or arrangements that facilitate electron tunneling or entanglement. The bio-inspired structures within the simulation module can be actual biological components integrated into an artificial system, or they can be artificially synthesized structures (e.g., protein polymers, carbon nanotubes, graphene-based materials) engineered to replicate the relevant quantum coherence-enhancing properties of biological microtubules. These structures act as quantum components or facilitate quantum interactions within the network, potentially serving as "quantum receptor sites" that enable analog quantum processing by supporting simultaneous, non-collapsing information processing. [0019] The analog quantum simulation module processes the input data representations through continuous-variable dynamics. This means the state of the simulation evolves continuously over time, governed by the physical interactions within the network of quantum components, rather than through discrete gate operations. This continuous evolution naturally reflects the dynamics of many real-world quantum processes. Techniques like continuous-variable quantum annealing or multi-Split-Steps Quantum Walks (multi-SSQW), adapted for continuous variables, can be implemented within this module to steer the probabilistic state evolution towards a desired outcome. [0020] The system is designed to operate at a temperature above 77 Kelvin, which is significantly warmer than the millikelvin temperatures required by many superconducting or trapped-ion quantum computers. To achieve this, the system includes a liquid dielectric shielding system. This system encloses at least a portion of the analog quantum simulation module, particularly the interconnected quantum components including the bio-inspired structures. The liquid dielectric shielding system is configured to maintain quantum coherence of these components at the elevated operating temperature by maintaining ordered liquid structures within the liquid dielectric. [0021] The liquid dielectric can be water or a non-aqueous fluid with hydrogen-bonding capabilities or other properties suitable for forming ordered structures. The ordered liquid structures mimic the structured water or cytosolic environments found around biomolecules in cells, which are believed to play a role in protecting biological quantum processes from decoherence. These ordered structures reduce environmental interactions that cause decoherence, effectively shielding the quantum components. [0022] Maintaining these ordered liquid structures can be achieved through various mechanisms, including: * Application of an external electric field across the liquid chamber to induce alignment of polar liquid molecules. * Use of nanostructured surfaces within the liquid chamber. These surfaces, with specific patterns or chemical properties, can promote ordering of liquid molecules via physical interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, or epitaxial growth of liquid layers. * Incorporation of additives into the liquid that enhance hydrogen bonding or other intermolecular forces, stabilizing the ordered liquid structures. [0023] In some embodiments, the system further comprises a rheostat-like quantum control system. This system is configured to adjust interaction strengths or energy levels of the interconnected quantum components within the analog quantum simulation module. Unlike binary switches, this control system applies continuous modulation, analogous to a classical rheostat. This can be achieved via continuous application of electromagnetic fields (e.g., microwave fields, laser fields) or magnetic flux. For example, in superconducting circuits, tunable couplers using Josephson junctions or SQUIDs can have their coupling strength adjusted continuously via magnetic flux or control currents. Flux qubits can have their energy levels manipulated continuously via external magnetic fields. This continuous control allows for fine-grained steering of the continuous-variable dynamics within the simulation module. [0024] In further embodiments, the system includes a hybrid interface configured to couple the analog quantum simulation module to a classical processor. This interface facilitates bidirectional communication. It receives the continuous-variable probabilistic data representations from the non-destructive quantum observation module and encodes them as initial states within the analog quantum simulation module. This encoding may involve translating the probabilistic data into the physical state of the analog quantum components. The interface also receives output states from the analog quantum simulation module after the simulation process and converts them into classical data that can be interpreted and processed by the classical processor. [0025] The hybrid interface may include a probabilistic encoder configured to transform the measurement data from the non-destructive quantum observation module into a continuous probability distribution represented by analog signals suitable for the simulation module. It may also include a probabilistic decoder configured to interpret the continuous-variable output states of the analog quantum simulation module as probabilistic results, potentially performing statistical analysis or inference on the analog output to extract meaningful classical information. This interface is crucial for integrating the analog quantum processing with classical control, calibration, and post-processing. [0026] The method for simulating a quantum process at a temperature above 77 Kelvin comprises the steps of: (a) Non-destructively observing a quantum system to obtain continuous-variable probabilistic data representations of its quantum state without inducing state collapse. This step utilizes the non-destructive observation module described above. (b) Inputting these continuous-variable probabilistic data representations into an analog quantum simulation module. This module comprises a network of interconnected quantum components, including bio-inspired structures derived from or mimicking biological microtubules, and is enclosed within a liquid dielectric shielding system maintaining ordered liquid structures at a temperature above 77 Kelvin. (c) Processing the data representations within the analog quantum simulation module through continuous-variable dynamics to simulate the quantum process. This step involves the natural or controlled evolution of the analog quantum components. [0027] The method may further include applying rheostat-like quantum control during the processing step to steer the continuous-variable dynamics, or utilizing a hybrid interface for encoding the input data and decoding the output results. [0028] The invention provides a technical solution to the problem of quantum decoherence at elevated temperatures and the limitations imposed by measurement-induced collapse and binary discretization in traditional quantum computing. By combining non-destructive observation, analog continuous-variable processing with bio-inspired components, and ambient-temperature liquid shielding, the system enables scalable quantum simulation and information processing in environments previously inaccessible to quantum technologies. The use of bio-inspired structures and liquid shielding provides an unexpected level of coherence at higher temperatures, a result not predictable from the individual components in isolation. [0029] Alternative embodiments of the analog quantum simulation module may utilize different types of quantum components suitable for continuous-variable processing, such as arrays of coupled harmonic oscillators, Bose-Einstein condensates, or specific solid-state systems exhibiting collective quantum behavior. The bio-inspired structures can be integrated in various ways, such as forming the lattice structure of the quantum components, acting as coupling elements, or providing a scaffold for the quantum network. The liquid dielectric shielding system can be implemented with various liquid compositions and ordering mechanisms depending on the specific quantum components used and the desired operating temperature range above 77K. [0030] The system and method are applicable to simulating a wide range of quantum processes, including those relevant to material science (e.g., simulating molecular dynamics, phase transitions), drug discovery (e.g., protein folding, molecular interactions), financial modeling (e.g., quantum optimization for portfolio management), and artificial intelligence (e.g., probabilistic inference, quantum machine learning). The ability to process continuous probabilistic states without collapse is particularly advantageous for simulating open quantum systems and complex, naturally occurring quantum phenomena.
