Papers you can read, cite and question
728 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.

Passive Fault Tolerance via Bruhat–Tits Tree Codes: Exact Ball-Code Error Rates, Energy Barriers, and the Cooling Wall of Active Quantum Error Correction
Large-scale quantum computation is gated by active error correction: stabilizer codes such as the surface code require physical-to-logical overheads of $10^{2}$–$10^{4}$, continuous syndrome measurement, and millikelvin refrigeration whose thermodynamic cost grows as the operating temperature falls.…
THz-Driven Synthetic-Dimension Lattices in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate: Thermal-Photon Occupation Limits and the Operating-Point Criterion at 3.5 THz
Synthetic-dimension photonics uses the frequency modes of a single optical waveguide as the sites of an artificial lattice, promising high-dimensional photonic circuits without three-dimensional fabrication. Progress toward interaction-capable synthetic lattices in thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN)…
Parity-Protected Superconducting Qubits at 4 K: A Reconciled Thermodynamic Error-Budget Analysis
Scalable superconducting quantum computing is conventionally operated at millikelvin temperatures, where the cooling power available from dilution refrigerators is severely limited. This paper tests the conjecture that a thermodynamic bottleneck at millikelvin temperatures could be relieved by…
Passive Error Resilience Through Ultrametric Geometry: A Proposal for p-Adic Quantum Metrology
Active quantum error correction is the dominant paradigm for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computation, but its thermodynamic cost at utility scale remains unaddressed. Each round of syndrome extraction, decoding, and feedback erases information — and under Landauer's principle, that erasure…
Spectral Dynamics and Thermodynamic Stability in the Arithmetic Quantum Framework
The scalability of fault-tolerant quantum computing is currently obstructed by a “Thermodynamic Wall,” where the entropy generated by active error correction (QEC) cycles scales exponentially with the number of logical qubits. This research addresses the crisis by proposing a transition from active,…
THERMODYNAMIC AND TOPOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS ON BIOLOGICAL QUANTUM PROCESSING
This study establishes a rigorous quantitative boundary between engineered quantum systems and biological matter, defined by the thermodynamic cost of information protection. By benchmarking the 2025 Google “Willow” superconducting processor—which requires cryogenic isolation (20 mK) and active…
Thermodynamic Viability and the Universality of Feynman Matter
The dominant paradigm for universal quantum computation, predicated on active error correction, is fundamentally constrained by a thermodynamic wall, a phase transition where the entropy produced by control operations catastrophically overwhelms the system. This study quantifies this constraint,…
