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.

CEI Invariance: Architectures as Equivalence Classes of Causal Density and Energy Fidelity
Computational architectures are today chosen for a substrate by benchmarking, an expensive process that must be repeated for every substrate-architecture pair and gives no guidance before hardware exists. No existing framework predicts, from thermodynamics alone, which architecture classes a…
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 Revolutionary Beginner's Guide to Quantum Computing: Why We Don't Have Quantum Computers Yet — and What the Geometric Alternative Offers
A 20-chapter beginner's guide to quantum computing that starts with an honest question — why don't we have quantum computers yet? — rather than the usual "here's what a qubit is." The guide teaches the standard curriculum (qubits, entanglement, algorithms, error correction) accurately, explains why…
The Problem-Substrate Mapping: A Framework for Honest Computational Investment
Phase IV of the Qubit Delusion series. Translates the critique into a concrete investment portfolio: matching computational problem classes (optimization, linear algebra, probabilistic inference, quantum simulation, cryptography, general-purpose) to optimal physical substrates (Ising machines,…
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…
Superconductivity Quadrangle
The engineering of robust, decoherence-resistant topological qubits is currently impeded by a fragmented approach to material design that often treats control parameters in isolation. This study introduces and computationally validates the “Superconductivity Quadrangle,” a unified framework…
