Quantum Computers: Expectation vs Reality |
They say nature abhors a vacuum but a bullshitter absolutely adores a knowledge vacuum, that is, an area of expertise where most people don’t have a full or even partial understanding of the topic and this can be exploited to fill the knowledge gaps with outlandish and implausible rubbish by someone who is relying on the fact that their audience don’t know any better.
There are many examples in the tech-sphere these days, for instance, AI is not intelligence and likely never will be: it’s just a web trawler with a highly specialized algorithm or set of instructions, and it’s the fact that it has such a monumental dataset that it seems able to mimic human activity. Another one is Bitcoin which is a constant high-anxiety roller-coaster ride of sleepless nights for investors who can never truly rest and be peaceful with their investment for fear they miss the start of the rinse-cycle sell-off and find themselves one of the last poor chumps holding the empty bag. It was designed to be a medium of exchange beyond the control of the banking system, but it can never be that now; it has become an investment in itself, contrary to the whole ethos and rationale behind its creation. This subversion has turned it into a paltry but elaborate pyramid scam or Ponzi-scheme in high-tech camouflage, and it is due to enter the rinse and shrink cycle once all the suckers get on board again.
From what I noticed, it wreaked havoc on the economy of the UAE. I was there when the UAE went crazy for Bitcoin because everybody only saw the upward trend and the hype. I worked in the UAE as a school teacher during the growing Bitcoin bubble and eventual crash and my friend even taught a syllabus produced by the government, which taught the students that they couldn’t lose their money with Bitcoin. Then of course, the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme entered its shrink and rinse the suckers out phase, once the pension funds and major world governments had sunk enough money in it to pay off the players who got in earlier and who knew when to start selling, leaving the mugs holding the empty bag. Ultimately, its dramatic crash forced the UAE to implement a raft of new policies which can only have been a result of having to make backroom deals with the IMF and World Bank and might explain the reversal of several of its previous long-term policies.
For instance, at this time the UAE started shaking down their population for any bit of spare change they could get out of them; so the place I lived, a lovely seaside town called Khor Fakkan, suddenly implemented parking charges throughout the whole town and elsewhere in the country there was even a meanspirited 5 dirham charge to see the view from Jebel Jeis, the highest mountain in the country. It was clear that something had seemingly changed in the economy; it was about the same time, in 2020, that the UAE decided to officially recognize the state of Israel and allow Israelis to do business in their country, shortly afterwards an Israeli woman called Frida Kiwan was caught entering the country with half a kilogram of cocaine.
Clearly this was one of the IMF’s conditions. Furthermore, the woman had been sentenced to death, but was recently given a full pardon and released. Such is the power of Israel that its citizens can carry out specific drug crimes in the strictest country in the world for such crimes and get off Scot Free with a pardon from Sheikh Mohammed himself. The implication is clear and I won’t say anymore - I don’t want to get arrested and imprisoned myself next time I stop over at Dubai airport, and not being Israeli, it’s unlikely I will experience the same favourable personal munificence and leniency of the ruling royal family. Shortly after Frida’s initial arrest another Israel, Halil Dasuki, was also arrested in Dubai on suspicion of planning to smuggle half a ton of cocaine from Israel to the UAE. Isn’t it wonderful what quality of life improvements you get for your country when you open the door to Israelis to freely enter your country?[i]
Most of these new technologies are not improving the internet and our experience but ruining it. It now takes longer to weed out the AI voiced artificially generated Youtube videos than it does to actually watch a video based on the content you want to see and now websites can be created entirely using AI text generation, and there are more and more websites which have no real or authentic content whatsoever. Now the latest bogey and bullshit man is quantum computing. It has communicated with extra-terrestrial intelligence! It has become self-aware! It can end the world! It will replace humanity! All of these provocative ideas have been rolled out recently in the tech media fringe. Quantum computers have become a mystery box of possibilities but few people really have a clue what’s in the box.
Late last year there was an ominous series of reports which seeped into the various lubricious channels of internet tech media; whether this report was an accidental leak or a somewhat more contrived example of the moistest kind of media manipulation in order to drive up interest and the share-price of an ailing tech company, we can only speculate. From the many tech websites the same fevered phrase, worthy of Black Mesa and the scientific rhetoric of the understated apocalyptical disaster: an ‘unforeseen incident’.
The fact
that we are all still here and in no immediate danger of being attacked by jumping
head-crabs while taking the dog for a morning walk, and turning into a head-crab
zombie with clawed slashing arms and a maw of jagged teeth coming out of our
chest cavity by lunchtime, indicates that the worst scientific-disaster has
either been averted or just not happened yet.
Obviously, it’s hard to get serious or reliable information about
what might have taken place during NASA’s experiments with quantum computing, and why NASA reportedly shut down
their experiments with a D-Wave quantum computer at the
AMES research laboratory in California. Perhaps the most conservative report about the story, from Medium, states
that:
“…during
a recent test, the computer-generated results that were inconsistent with known
physical laws.”[1]
This sounds somewhat ambiguous and if you squint and have an
over-active imagination, just like I hope you do because I definitely do, then it
almost sounds like the quantum computer started operating on another level of
reality and managed to high-five God and had a chat with him and this freaked out
all the crazy bald-head boffins so they shut it down. On the other hand, since one
issue with quantum computing is that it is particularly ‘noisy’ it may be that
the quantum computer just started generating a load of old rubbish. Data and results
are easily corrupted due to the extremely sensitive nature of the quantum
state, and the fact that even inputting instructions, adds energy which temporarily
disrupts the quantum state which can only be maintained at extreme low
temperatures where atomic and vibrational activity is almost nill.
An apparent
source for all this appears to be an Indian tech writer called Gaurav Sharma
who writes for the Times Internet
group and also writes for Medium. He published an article for UdayIndia in December 2023 and an edited version
of this article appeared on a website called Techgig[2]
in February 2024
“The abrupt shutdown of NASA's quantum computing project was
triggered by an unforeseen incident during a routine test.”
This article also features its own example of a Shrödinger’s cat quantum
paradox since the article reports that the D-Wave computer both reportedly succeeded
and failed spectacularly at the same time:
“During the analysis of a complex simulation, the quantum
computer demonstrated unprecedented computational power, solving a previously
intractable problem. However, this remarkable achievement had an equally
alarming consequence: quantum computers began generating outputs that made no
sense and challenged conventional thinking.”
This is followed by a sudden hard swerve into the Twilight-Zone:
“Researchers and government officials were concerned that
the quantum computer might have connected with an extraterrestrial intelligence
or even entered an unknown realm of computation.”
I mean, it’s certainly possible. As I have tried to demonstrate, the quantum realm is the source of everything in the universe and is a kind of overworld God realm, but is it possible that quantum computers can meet and greet directly with God or hang with aliens exchanging top bants and dank memes in 4 dimensional chat-rooms?
In quantum field theory, all possible
trajectories of the single photon through the slits are objectively real, like
Schrödinger’s cat, which is both alive and dead at the same time, until you
open the box. There is however one main alternative theory to the Copenhagen
interpretation and this is something people might have heard of because it has
been quite publicized by some science fiction shows and TV science popularisers.
The many-worlds interpretation, posited by physicist and military scientist, Hugh Everett III, states that the wave function doesn’t actually collapse at all when a measurement of the position of the photon or other quantum object is made. Instead, what happens for instance when you open Schrödinger’s box, is that two realities are created, one where the cat is dead and one where it is alive. In that sense, the wave function is eternal and never truly collapses. Everett believed the whole universe was a single quantum wave which never collapses but just eternally branches out into ‘different worlds’. So for every photon or subatomic particle in the universe, there must be different universes where all the near infinite possibilities are expressed.[i] Believe it or not there are real scientists who believe this. For me, thinking like this is like following Ignacio de Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, it’s a good way to induce auto-psychosis, or in other words, go insane.
Everett was scorned by fellow scientists at the time, but in recent times his theory has gained acceptance among people who really should know better. Everett believed in something called quantum immortality, which is a very strange kind of fabricated scientific thesis to allow him and indeed, everyone, to live forever. In his quantum immortality theory, he believed that because his many worlds theory of parallel universes, meant that things such as quantum particles were forever branching off to enter new universes, his consciousness too, would follow a path, eternally branching off into different universes, so as to always take the path that avoided death. So presumably he believed that on his deathbed, he would suddenly find himself in his own body, alive, but in a different universe, and this would presumably happen forever.
It does seem a particularly desperate way to gain the immortality of your soul, by inventing outlandish scientific and by definition, completely unprovable theories, when by definition, science prides itself on being provable. There are easier ways to find out about life after death and they are simply by reading the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
It would make a pretty good science fiction story I guess, following someone through different near-death experiences, and finding himself reset at a different point, each time, and I wonder if it has been done yet. It would have a kind of Philip K Dick flavour perhaps, or it could be a scientist who somehow creates a device which allows him to escape death and live forever by switching between different universes. Everett would theorise about playing Russian roulette, and that if he shot himself his consciousness would then enter a different branch of the ‘many worlds’ and survive, presumably he believed he could eternally shoot himself in the head and his consciousness would always find itself in the winning branch with the gun still in his hand and holding a gun where the bullet is always in a different chamber. In fact, that iconic image of John McAfee holding a gun to his head, was part of an interview with Wired where he goes into his own theories about so called quantum suicide.
This is from a Sun article reporting on the Wired article, it’s clearly an example of second-hand news but I suppose it’s at least encouraging that the Sun is covering something like this which is somewhat outside their usual range of interests, not that I’ve really read a copy of the Sun since I used to deliver them on my paper round.
The double-slit experiment, first performed in 1801 by Thomas Young is perhaps THE scientific experiment which represents the very beginning of the modern scientific era. It seeks to analyse the nature of light and discovers a new universe with new-rules but it was not until 100 years later that Max Planck coined the term ‘quanta’ as a way to describe a quantity or discrete unit of light from which we have the terminology of quantum physics.
The double-slit experiment is one of the simplest scientific experiments ever devised: it requires only two things: some light and an impermeable sheet with two slits in it. What the experiment lacks in complexity it has more than compensated for by the astonishing results which it has yielded. The double-slit experiment, is in itself, a 4-dimensional experiment, that is mutable and responsive to the observer. It is an experiment which exists and is repeatable and stable in the scientific sense, but infinitely changeable and although devised with a certain hypothesis and outcome in mind, which it delivered, can also give different and contrasting results, depending on how the experiment is performed.
For instance, Thomas Young performed the experiment to analyse the nature of light which he suspected was a kind of wave. The supposed light ‘waves’ were duly produced by the ‘interference’ patterns produced when the light ‘waves’ went through the two slits, proving once and for all that light was indeed a ‘wave’ and everyone went away with happy faces. It was not until the invention of the cathode ray that single electrons could be fired through the double slits which would inexplicably lead to the same characteristic ‘wave’ diffraction patterns which Young had produced nearly a century before.
The dramatic conclusion reached was that a single particle somehow passes through both slits at once in order to create the wave interference pattern, or that light acts as both a wave and a particle at the same time, which appears to be an inherent contradiction. Furthermore, that if there were any attempt to measure or localise the light as it passed through the slits, then the ‘wave function’ collapsed and the pattern changed to show that only a single photon had passed through one of the slits and there was no wave diffraction pattern.
The particularly peculiar thing about the double-slit experiment and the collapse of the wave function is that it is not the measuring or recording device itself which collapses the wave function but it seems to be consciousness itself which does this, and many elaborations on the double-slit experiment have been devised precisely to test this strange hypothesis which has so disturbed many renowned scientists.
For instance, if an interferometer is introduced into the experiment to pinpoint the position of the 4d photon, then the wave function collapses and we see a pattern which would indicate that the photon has passed as a particle through one of the two slits. However, if there was no 'access' to the information and the observer had no idea which slit the photon had passed through, then it would behave as a wave and the wave function would be maintained and it would create a wave diffraction pattern. So, if our minds can have an effect over one photon or electron then what more control can we have over the whole light-based reality?
Quantum physics puts the human mind at
the centre of the phenomenon and, by implication the observer seems to play an
active part in ordering reality itself. But back in 1801, before any of this
was ever dreamed of, Thomas Young performed the experiment to analyse the
nature of light which he suspected was a kind of wave, and he actually used
sunlight.
Sunlight was sent through the metal sheet with two slits and an interference pattern was produced on the screen by the light ‘wave’ passing through the slits and creating the wave interference pattern. The interference pattern which is so central to quantum physics, is composed of alternating bright bands and dark bands, so light waves coming out of one slit, interacted with the light waves coming out of the other slit, and where the two waves met at peaks or troughs, they reinforced each other and created a bright band of light, while where a peak met a trough, the waves cancelled each other out and a dark band was produced on the screen. The bright and dark bands on the screen are a two-dimensional representation of the two wave fronts reinforcing (as in the bright areas) or cancelling each other out (as in the dark areas).
He proved to himself and science, that
the light ‘waves’ went through the two slits, as waves, interfered with each
other, so to speak, and then formed the interference pattern on the screen,
proving once and for all that light was indeed a ‘wave’, at least so they
thought. It was not until the invention of the cathode ray that subatomic,
single free electrons could be fired through the double slits, although now,
they can use attenuated or low power lasers to fire single photons.
Since electrons, as subatomic particles are also ‘quantum objects’ like photons, atoms and more recently, molecules up to a certain size. It might have been presumed that firing single ‘particles’ would create a different kind of pattern of light on the screen, perhaps one showing two bright bands, where the particles had passed through one slit or the other. However, instead, firing single electrons through the slits, incrementally created the same interference pattern as if light waves were passing through both slits simultaneously, and interacting with each other as before, the waves either reinforcing or cancelling each other out in order to create the interference pattern. But how can it be that single quantum electrons, passing individually through one of the two slits can create an interference pattern as if they are interacting with each other and passing through both slits at once and interfering with each other as if they are part of some kind of unified whole?
The dramatic conclusion of this experiment is that the quantum particle is both a wave and a particle at the same time. Speaking of the Double Slit experiment, our friend Richard Feynman said:
“…this one experiment.. has been designed to contain all of the mystery of quantum mechanics, to put you up against the paradoxes and mysteries and peculiarities of nature one hundred per cent. Any other situation in quantum mechanics, it turns out, can always be explained by saying, 'You remember the case of the experiment with the two holes? It's the same thing'. I am going to tell you about the experiment with the two holes. I am baring nature in her most elegant and difficult form.”[i]
