Quantum Representations of Sound: from mechanical waves to quantum circuits
By the time of writing, quantum audio still is a very young area of study, even within the quantum signal processing community. This chapter introduces the state of the art in quantum audio and discusses methods for the quantum representation of audio signals. Currently, no quantum representation strategy claims to be the best one for audio applications.
This research is particularly interesting as it bridges quantum computing with audio processing, showing potential future directions for quantum music applications. Check out the related open-source Python library ⚡quantum-audio⚡
Scalable and High-Fidelity Quantum Random Access Memory in Spin-Photon Networks
A quantum random access memory (qRAM) is considered an essential computing unit to enable polynomial speedups in quantum information processing. This paper proposes a photonic-integrated-circuit architecture integrated with solid-state memories as a viable platform for constructing a qRAM.
Following developments in quantum random access memory is important, as it's one of the fundamental building blocks for achieving practical quantum advantage.
Motor-Sensory Recalibration Leads to an Illusory Reversal of Action and Sensation
To judge causality, organisms must determine the temporal order of their actions and sensations. However, this judgment may be confounded by changing delays in sensory pathways, suggesting the need for dynamic temporal recalibration. To test for such a mechanism, we artificially injected a fixed delay between participants' actions (keypresses) and subsequent sensations (flashes).
This study reveals how our brain adapts to delays between actions and their sensory consequences, fundamentally changing our understanding of temporal perception in interactive systems.
Existence of real time quantum path integrals
The paper explores the existence of real-time quantum path integrals, which are fundamental to our understanding of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
A groundbreaking paper that shows how to define Feynman's path integral without imaginary time tricks. Their novel 'eigenflow' method for handling infinite dimensions could be particularly valuable for quantum gravity, where we have good classical theories but struggle with quantum descriptions.
