Beam me up Scotty! What?? Are we approaching an evolution in humankind's story, were everything big comes together in the small?

Discover how exploring the very big universe we exist in, from the very small perspectice of quantum space can herald in a new epoch. Explore how in the small, distance does not really matter.

Author Mulhall 📚 · Quantum Tech Reveals Human Purpose: A New Era BeginsQuantum tech may answer life’s biggest questions—how we exist, why we’re here, and what lies ahead in the our universal journey.

We need your help! We will host a European quantum computer in the Netherlands in the near future.

We are creating a video on quantum developments and want to include the questions that matter most to researchers.

Tl;dr : surprising claim that interpretations of quantum mechanics Bohm&Copenhagen are now distinguishable experimentally is making the rounds

The news keep popping up, including in reputable sources like @Spektrumverlag
(spektrum.de/news/bohmsche-mech, paywall), that the Bohmian "interpretation" of Quantum Mechanics is being challenged by an experiment.

Conventional wisdom is that where they apply, these interpretations are empirically the same. This would exclude the possibility of such an experimental distinction.
Since Bohmian mechanics, which features deterministic evolution of point particles guided by the wave function, does not have a straighforward extension to quantum electrodynamics, and the experiment in question deals with photons, this might be a source of confusion. This article:

physicsworld.com/a/new-experim

seems to suggest that the researchers use the hidden variables, namely that Bohmian particle positions, to calculate some quantities directly, which seems dubious. Has anyone looked at this more closely already and can tell us where the loophole or error is?

ZenodoProject Chimera: Repurposing LHC for Quantum Computing (HRC)This paper introduces Project Chimera, a speculative proposal to transform the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) into a quantum computer based on the principles of Harmonic Resonance Computing (HRC). This transformative paradigm shifts computation from discrete, particle-based qubits to extended, resonant quantum field states ("h-qubits") sustained within a precisely engineered Wave-Sustaining Medium (WSM). The proposed repurposing would leverage the LHC's vast, multi-billion dollar infrastructure by converting its 27-kilometer vacuum ring into a colossal WSM, re-tasking its thousands of superconducting magnets and radio-frequency cavities to act as computational logic gates and state-preparation instruments, and replacing the massive particle detectors with arrays of sensitive quantum sensors for readout. Project Chimera posits that the core technologies required for a large-scale HRC system—extreme cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum, and precise magnetic field control—already exist at an unprecedented scale at the LHC. The project argues that the required shift is primarily one of intent and architecture: moving from a scientific mission of deconstruction through high-energy particle collision to one of constructive synthesis, weaving a computational fabric from engineered quantum frequencies to create a quantum computer of a scale that would otherwise be unimaginable.

Harmonic Resonance Computing: Harnessing the Fundamental Frequencies of Reality for a Novel Computational Paradigm

ZenodoHarmonic Resonance Computing: Harnessing the Fundamental Frequencies of Reality for a Novel Computational ParadigmThe dominant approach to developing quantum computing systems, fundamentally rooted in a conceptual framework inherited from classical physics, fails to accurately represent the intrinsic nature of quantum reality. This methodology models quantum phenomena predominantly as discrete, isolated particles or “qubits,” thereby overlooking their inherently interconnected, dynamic, and field-theoretic character. Focusing on individual, separable entities fundamentally drives contemporary qubit-based architectures into direct conflict with the universe’s foundational principles, manifesting as profound technical hurdles: extreme vulnerability to environmental noise, rapid degradation of quantum coherence (decoherence), and excessive demands for error correction. These substantial obstacles are not merely engineering challenges amenable to incremental refinement; they are direct, unavoidable consequences of attempting to impose a discrete, localized, and static conceptual model onto a reality more accurately described by continuous field dynamics, perpetual transformation, and emergent resonant patterns. Achieving viable, scalable quantum computation necessitates a profound paradigm shift in both foundational ontology and engineering design. Computation must be understood not as operations performed upon distinct physical entities, but as an emergent property of dynamic, interacting frequency fields—the fundamental resonant structures that intrinsically constitute the physical universe. By embracing this frequency-based ontology and designing systems that operate in resonant alignment with the native principles governing physical reality, it becomes possible to fundamentally circumvent the immense technical barriers inherent in particle-centric systems, potentially unlocking unprecedented computational power, stability, and elegance.
