Normally these posts end up in the 'question of lithium' thread, but for today, this one will go here, as it is relevant.
Regarding opto-quantum computers. The march is relentless. Elon talks about the singularity issue, where probability lines have separated and move back to the single point, and then the given event, and then they move outward again.
This is akin to how I deal with the psychic trick of future sense. I describe it (strong probability event) like a small rock dropped into the idea of time, as we know it. The ripples move outward from that point (both forward and back, and also to the sides, up and down, ie alternate dimensions and timelines), or knot of energies. Part of one angle of view of the two ...or pair of two-d sheet/fields in apparent spin interaction, that make up the torus or spinning olive that we have used as a visualization technique......and the interactions which are out of sight in the common egoic linear unidirectional time-space view that the majority of the world shares on a day to day basis..that is the normal view of time. The creation of our past, our history. That dropped rock (knot as intense event) and then ripples can also be seen from the now as future probability. likened exactly to how we see our past.
That your viewpoint in day to day waking egoic life and interaction in the 3d world is based on a common unidirectional ideal, which is based upon systems that are built out of timeless 2d systems in integration, or, to restate: the underlying system your reality and consciousness ride on, are 'out of time'.
(look at my avatar, that's why I chose it, it's similarity to a visualization for such systems)
With regard to the energetic knot or small rock dropped into the 2d timeless field sheets in interaction, the ripples spread backward in time, ie, our history that is seemingly immutable (from our particular time based viewpoint)... they also move into collision with the unidirectional forward motion, in the form of slowly resolving probability. To recall the future, likewise, like a bad or ill remembered memory. To fathom the future from the probability mix, exactly likened to memory recall.
In our latest findings on memory, we find that recalling a memory in the system of the human brain, permanently alters it, it changes it. The refreshing of the memory reshapes it.
We will find that future probability 'recall', Like I experience, reshapes it, it changes the probability, ie equal/matched expansion of the forward wave of the collective boat of the human now... in the timestream.
Which is why the esoteric aspects of the controlling structure of humanity is always so eager to control the current now view of humanity, as it equals the act of steering humanity through time and probability. That humanity can be driven to a future that they desire, into actual seen probability lines, or not.
Thus, the desire for quantum computers to control (or explore) probability, as quantum systems involve spooky action at a distance. Exactly as that of the human psychic timeline sensing of premonition. To resolve probability in time. Artificial mind, AI.. and time-sensing in one single spot. However, therein lies a danger, if some of you understand the idea of what a human might actually be.

Physicists observe behavior of quantum materials in curved space

Light and matter are typically viewed as distinct entities that follow their own, unique rules. Matter has mass and typically exhibits interactions with other matter, while light is massless and does not interact with itself. Yet, wave-particle duality tells us that matter and light both act sometimes like particles, and sometimes like waves.
Harnessing the shared wave nature of light and matter, researchers at the University of Chicago, led by Jonathan Simon, the Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Physics, have used light to explore some of the most intriguing questions in the quantum mechanics of materials. The topic encompasses complex and non-intuitive phenomena that are often difficult to explain in non-technical language, but which carry important implications to specialists in the field.
In work published online this week in the journal Nature, Simon's group presents new experimental observations of a quantum Hall material near a singularity of curvature in space.
Quantum effects give rise to some of the most useful and promising properties of materials: They define standard units of measurement, give rise to superconductivity and describe quantum computers. The quantum Hall materials are one prominent example in which electrons are trapped in non-conducting circular orbits except at the edges of the material. There, electrons exhibit quantized resistance-free electrical conduction that is immune to disorder such as material impurities or surface defects.
Furthermore, electrons in quantum Hall materials do not transmit sound waves but instead have particle-like excitations, some of which are unlike any other particles ever discovered. Some of these materials also exhibit simultaneous quantum entanglement between millions of electrons, meaning that the electrons are so interconnected, the state of one instantly influences the state of all others. This combination of properties makes quantum Hall materials a promising platform for future quantum computation.
Researchers worldwide have spent the past 35 years delving into the mysteries of quantum Hall materials, but always in the same fundamental way. They use superconducting magnets to make very powerful magnetic fields and refrigerators to cool electronic samples to thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.
Trapping light...
In a new approach, Simon and his team demonstrated the creation of a quantum Hall material made up of light. "Using really good mirrors that are pointed at each other, we can trap light for a long time while it bounces back and forth many thousands of times between the mirrors," explained graduate student Nathan Schine.
In the UChicago experiment, photons travel back and forth between mirrors, while their side-to-side motion mimics the behavior of massive particles like electrons. To emulate a strong magnetic field, the researchers created a non-planar arrangement of four mirrors that makes the light twist as it completes a round trip. The twisting motion causes the photons to move like charged particles in a magnetic field, even though there is no actual magnet present.
"We make the photons spin, which leads to a force that has the same effect as a magnetic field," explained Schine. While the light is trapped, it behaves like the electrons in a quantum Hall material.
First, Simon's group demonstrated that they had a quantum Hall material of light. To do so, they shined infrared laser light at the mirrors. By varying the laser's frequency, Simon's team could map out precisely at which frequencies the laser was transmitted through the mirrors. These transmission frequencies, along with camera images of the transmitted light, gave a telltale signature of a quantum Hall state.
Next, the researchers took advantage of the precise control that advanced optical systems provide to place the photons in curved space, which has not been possible so far with electrons. In particular, they made the photons behave as if they resided on the surface of a cone.
...near a singularity
"We created a cone for light, much like you might do by cutting a wedge of paper and taping the edges together," said postdoctoral fellow Ariel Sommer, also a co-author of the paper. "In this case, we imposed a three-fold symmetry on our light, which essentially divides the plane into three wedges and forces the light to repeat itself on each wedge."
The tip of a cone has infinite curvature—the singularity—so the researchers were able to study the effect of strong spatial curvature in a quantum Hall material. They observed that photons accumulated at the cone tip, confirming a previously untested theory of the quantum Hall effect in curved space.
Despite 20 years of interest, this is the first time an experiment has observed the behavior of quantum materials in curved space. "We are beginning to make our photons interact with each other," said Schine. "This opens up many possibilities, such as making crystalline or exotic quantum liquid states of light. We can then see how they respond to spatial curvature."
The researchers say this could be useful for characterizing a certain type of quantum computer that is built of quantum Hall materials.
"While quantum Hall materials were discovered in the '80s, they continue to reveal their fascinating secrets to this day," said Simon. "The final frontier is exploring the interplay of these beautiful materials with the curvature of space. That is what we've begun to explore with our photons."

The danger is in taking Thales AI model and combining it with quantum optical systems such as this.
