QNFO Papers

Open research library

Papers you can read, cite and question

611 papers from the QNFO program, filed on nine shelves by the reader each one is written for: energy per answer, error correction, physics, numbers and p-adics, logic and formalism, AI and knowledge, autonomous systems, assessments, and cross-cutting essays. Every page renders its mathematics and can be questioned in place. How a living paper works.

    Actual Demand of a Computational Substrate: A Reconciled Demand-Side and Allocation Framework for Physical Computing Platforms

    Debates about novel computational substrates—reservoir systems, post-qubit quantum architectures, thermodynamically bounded devices—are usually conducted from the supply side: what can a given physical system compute? This paper asks the complementary question posed by the QNFO programme: what is…

    The Switching Economics of Hamiltonian Re-Entry Computation: A Cost-Model Comparison with Stored-Program Architectures

    Stored-program (von Neumann) architectures pay a per-operation switching cost for instruction fetch, decode, and memory traffic, while a proposed Hamiltonian-computation paradigm identifies computation with continuous dynamical trajectories that re-enter a designated operating region of phase space.…

    JPCUB Competitive Landscape v2.0: System-Level Joules-per-Solution Estimates for 17 Quantum Computing Platforms from Published Specifications

    The JPCUB P0 protocol (https://papers.qnfo.org/papers/joules-per-solution-metric/) defines the joules-per-solution metric — total system energy per correct answer — as a universal, physics-grounded benchmark for computational platforms. The qwav.tech competitive landscape displays six platforms with…

    Thermodynamic Scaling of 4-Kelvin Topological Processors

    Standard superconducting quantum processors are currently constrained by the thermodynamic bottleneck of millikelvin dilution refrigeration, which precludes the integration of high-speed control logic and limits scalability. This reliance on the 20 mK regime creates a “mainframe constraint” where…
