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.

Energy per answer papers 5 papers
Platform builders, data-centre operators and energy analysts. What a correct answer costs in joules. Joules-per-Solution (JPCUB) definitions and measurements, Landauer and Margolus-Levitin limits, energy and power budgets, and energy benchmarking across quantum, HPC and AI hardware.

Thermodynamic Budgeting for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing: A Three-Layer Energy Model with Explicit Arithmetic and a 15-Month Validation Roadmap
Hybrid quantum-classical (HQC) computing is the dominant near-term paradigm, yet its energy accounting is rarely made explicit: the classical control, readout, cryogenic, and orchestration hardware surrounding the quantum processing unit (QPU) can dominate the total power budget, eroding any…
The Qudit Advantage: System-Level Joules-per-Solution Comparison of a Qudit Architecture Against 17 Conventional Qubit Quantum Computing Platforms
The JPCUB Competitive Landscape v2.0 benchmarked 17 qubit-based quantum computing platforms across a single system-level energy-efficiency metric: joules per solution (J/sol). All 17 platforms use two-level quantum systems (qubits). This paper extends the JPCUB framework to qudit architectures —…
The BQNN Classical Baseline: Constructive Falsification of Near-Term Quantum Advantage at a Fifteen-Million-to-One Energy Disadvantage
Classical BinaryConnect ensemble achieves 92.73% accuracy vs BQNN quantum inference (~82-85%) at 0.0365 J vs 550,000 J (ratio 1.5x10^7). CAL-BQNN-05 confirmed one year early.
Quantum Abacus
The scalability of active, gate-based quantum computers is fundamentally challenged by the “Thermodynamic Wall,” where the heat from control electronics becomes prohibitive. This study computationally investigates the “Quantum Abacus,” a passive quantum computing architecture that circumvents this…
Escaping the Millikelvin Death Spiral
Standard quantum architectures rely on dilution refrigeration to suppress thermal noise, tethering the industry to a non-scalable 20 mK thermal floor. The cooling power at millikelvin temperatures scales poorly, creating a “mainframe constraint” that limits widespread deployment. Here, a 4-Kelvin…
