Sound/elastic-wave systems with fermionic quantum-like behavior for phase-based encoding of information

Various embodiments for quantum-like mechanical elastic systems and related methods thereof including an approach for the tunability of a phase in quantum-like mechanical elastic systems are disclosed.

Systems and methods for the tunability of phase in quantum-like mechanical elastic systems

Disclosed are systems and methods for a quantum-analogue computing bit array consisting of a single qubit analogue, a serial two qubit analogue coupling, or parallel N qubit analogues. The quantum-analogue computing bit array comprises an elastic media having photo-elastic and photo-expansion effects, the adjustment of which allows a manipulation of one or more structural degrees of freedom within the elastic media and one or more temporal degrees of freedom within the elastic media. At least one analogue qubit is defined by one or more elastic waves within the elastic media. The quantum-analogue computing bit array further comprises a modulated light source oriented to illuminate the elastic media with a laser radiation to achieve a non-separable multi-phonon superposition of states within the elastic media.

Systems and methods for a quantum-analogue computer

Various embodiments of a phononic system to achieve quantum-analogue phase-based unitary operations are disclosed. A plurality of diatomic molecules is adsorbed on a cubic crystal surface. At least a first pair of parallel chains is created from the plurality of diatomic molecules, such that the two constituent chains of the first pair of parallel chains each comprise three or more diatomic molecules. One or more diatomic molecules of the first pair of parallel chains are displaced in order to thereby create one or more kinks in the first pair of parallel chains. The one or more kinks apply a first desired phase transformation to elastic waves scattered by the plurality of diatomic molecules and adjusting the number of kinks or adjusting the order in which kinks are created or modified causes a corresponding adjustment to the first desired phase transformation.
