OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: Design a circuit that underpins Quantum Computers used for Artificial Intelligence and Complex Modeling in R&D.
  • Image Source: N/A
  • Canon Link: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Primary Source: N/A
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Electron Circuit - Unlike traditional electronics, the QLA Circuit utilises Electrons to transfer data and information.
STRENGTHS
  • Quantum Gates - Quantum Gating enables the processing of more complex-valued functions than traditional computing methodologies, in principle, this improves the performance of computerised systems providing inputs are of a compatible value and quantum registers are correctly configured. Generally, when properly utilised the architecture can see upwards of a 250% increase in efficiency over traditional Supercomputers.
  • Exotic Computing - Slicing into a system supported by this architecture is more difficult due to the complexities of the coding particularly if that coding is self-improving or replicating.
  • Graphene Circuit - Graphene is a 2-dimensional material upon which the circuits are printed allowing for much-reduced overhead in terms of size, this enables greater circuit density within components.
  • Electron Based - The circuit is less susceptible to power surges generated by ionic energy or similar effects allowing for limited functionality.
WEAKNESSES
  • Twin-Circuit - The Architecture involves running two circuits in parallel, like two halves of a mind one cannot function without the other and is produced by sharing a quantum state with its partner. This enables data to 'teleport' from one circuit to another and vice versa. In the event, that one circuit is damaged the other will either cease to properly function or produce unexpected results. Furthermore, repairing circuits damaged this way is next to impossible, meaning the affected component will need to be replaced which is a lengthy and expensive process
  • Atmospheric Conditions - Due to using Electrons to transmit data the information processing centres must be maintained in extreme conditions, typically near absolute zero temperatures. Disrupting this can negatively affect the computing process reducing the overall effectiveness of the systems connected to it.
  • Novel Computing - Quantum Computing is a novel concept and not widely understood, even by those that study it. This can make programming difficult and a lengthy process often involving hundreds of man-hours of research and development to properly implement. This means it is rigid and cannot easily be repurposed to perform tasks outside of its design.
DESCRIPTION
Quantum computing is made up of qubits. Unlike a normal computer bit, which can be 0 or 1, a qubit can be either of those or a superposition of both 0 and 1. The power of quantum computers grows exponentially with more qubits. This is unlike classical computers, where adding more transistors only adds power linearly. As a result, computing power can be increased exceptionally. Ordinarily, applying this can be expensive and difficult due to the size of individual components needed to create Quantum Architectures, traditional materials such as silicon wafers are inflexible and not insignificant in size. Furthermore, the medium of electricity is inefficient leading to potential data loss and requiring extreme amounts of power.

By introducing Graphene, and adopting concepts from Fiber-optics Novean Technologies has had moderate success in reducing some of these flaws. Graphene is a flexible 2-Dimensional Material that can be specially treated to become a topological insulator, meaning electrons with one spin direction move around graphene's edge clockwise, and those of the opposite spin move counter-clockwise. Electrons are perfect carriers for qubits as they inherently exist in a superposition quantum state. Originally, it was believed a strong magnetic field and very low temperatures were needed to facilitate this.

However, recent discoveries have found that layering capacitors by creating graphene parallels separated by an insulating layer of boron nitride, creates a novel nonlinear electronic phenomenon. In this system small changes in, for example, the intensity of an incident laser beam, give rise to large changes in the measured capacitance of the device. Again, low temperatures were required to sustain the operation of this process, but a significant advantage of this design is that there is no need for external electromagnetic fields, allowing for limited applications in Artificial Intelligence and Research.
