Papers you can read, cite and question
609 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.

The Silent Radix Is Not a Key: A Security Analysis of Unknown-Radix Encoding as a Cryptographic Primitive
Positional numerals do not internally specify their own base, and a recent informal proposal — Silent Radix Encryption (SRE) — conjectures that this "silent radix" can serve as a cryptographic secret: plaintext symbols are mapped to digits by a secret map and read as an integer in a secret radix…
Lifetime as a Placement Signal: A Reconciled Analytical Study of Endurance Budgets for KV Cache Tiering across HBM and High-Bandwidth Flash in Agentic LLM Serving
Agentic large language model (LLM) serving accumulates key-value (KV) cache across many orchestrated requests, and high-bandwidth flash (HBF) offers an order of magnitude more capacity than high-bandwidth memory (HBM) at HBM-class read bandwidth, but its finite write endurance constrains how much…
Geometric Confinement as a G-Only Baseline for Superconducting Phenomena: A Re-Entry Analysis of the QNFO Geometric Unification Framework
Engineers designing confined superconducting devices—thin-film resonators, vortex-based flux devices, and cavity-coupled qubits—routinely attribute device performance to material-specific mechanisms, yet a purely geometric contribution is rarely quantified first, so geometric and material effects…
In-Network Hamiltonian Engineering for 6G: Service Model, Quantitative Budgets, and Re-Entry Analysis
The QNFO program (In-Network Hamiltonian Engineering for 6G, https://papers.qnfo.org/papers/in-network-hamiltonian-engineering-for-6g/) proposes placing semi-classical Hamiltonian control logic inside the network fabric of sixth-generation (6G) telecommunications infrastructure, so that network…
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…
Operating the Quniverse Fleet: Objectives, Successes, Failures, and Roadmap of an Autonomous Cloud Research System
The Quniverse is a self-maintaining research and publishing system running on the Cloudflare Workers platform: thirty-six deployed workers (thirty-eight at the session's start) sharing ten SQL databases, eight vector indexes, nineteen object-storage buckets, and a metered model gateway, operated by…
Locale Framework Applied to Quantum Computing Innovations & Practical Applications
Quantum computing is often presented through a small set of recurring claims: continuous-variable systems are naturally advantaged, more modes means more power, quantum advantage has been demonstrated at device level, statistics could in principle be non-standard, complex amplitudes are essential,…
QNFO Funding Strategy — Verified Funder Landscape & Shortlist
This paper presents a verified funder landscape and fit-score shortlist for sustaining QNFO, a two-year-old, solo-run, AI-assisted research platform that has produced an open corpus of approximately 1,000 method papers across seven program areas. Every funder fact was verified by live HTTP retrieval…
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 —…
QNFO Consilient Synthesis v2.0: The Shared Adelic Kernel
QNFO Consilient Synthesis v2.0: the shared adelic kernel (valuation → tree boundary → Ostrowski → adeles). Applies all 7 corrections (C1–C7) from the 2026-07-25 red-team audit, restructured kernel-first with honest kernel-membership table and mandatory symmetry sections.

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,…
Ten-Fingered Trap
How Our Decimal Dependence Constrains Scientific Advancement Our familiar decimal system, base-10, serves as the near-universal standard for numerical representation, so deeply integrated into global commerce, education, and scientific communication that its structure often feels synonymous with…
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…
Chiral High-Temperature Topological Processing
By replacing active syndrome extraction with passive topological protection derived from the 25 meV spectral gap of 45-degree twisted Bi-2212, the architecture circumvents the cooling power limitations of dilution refrigeration to enable the monolithic integration of classical control logic at 4…
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…
Resonant Kerr-Cancellation Dynamics
Bosonic codes encoded in superconducting cavities offer a hardware-efficient path to fault tolerance by exploiting the infinite dimensionality of a single harmonic oscillator. However, the non-linear mixing elements required for autonomous stabilization introduce parasitic self-Kerr interactions…
Hybrid Gate Decomposition and Vector-Norm Analysis for Quantum PDE Solvers
The simulation of high-Reynolds number fluid turbulence remains a grand challenge in computational physics, where the “Curse of Dimensionality” imposes an \(O(N^4)\) complexity scaling on classical solvers (Zylberman, 2025). Quantum algorithms offer a theoretical logarithmic pathway, but their…
Programming the Vacuum
The exponential growth of Hilbert space dimensions presents a fundamental barrier to the classical simulation of quantum systems, necessitating a paradigm shift from algorithmic simulation to physical instantiation. This study validates the “Inverted Church-Turing-Deutsch” (CTD) framework, which…
Information-Theoretic Scale Management
Informational Realism posits that reality’s fundamental layer is informational. This framework axiomatizes a distinction between the complete set of all possible information states, the informational census (\(\Omega\)), and the limited set of physical measurements, the physical poll…

Trapped-Ion Page-Wootters Experiment: Protocol for Testing Ultrametricity
We propose a trapped-ion experiment to test the Sufficient Condition Theorem: that diagonal clock-rest coupling produces exact ultrametric conditional state overlaps (UVR = 0%), while nondiagonal coupling produces a universal ~32% violation rate. All required capabilities are established with…
