In my role as the leader of the Forbes Technology Council (FTC) Quantum Computing group, I actively collaborate with industry leaders to analyze market dynamics and host events addressing critical challenges in quantum computing. These challenges range from evaluating potential industry bubbles to harnessing quantum technology for complex logistical problems and exploring connections between genetics, AI, and quantum dynamics.

It is a privilege to continue leading this group, which brings together over 120 executives from around the world for diverse discussions. Over the past year, I have hosted six events, four of which focused on alternative trajectories of quantum computation, and two collaborative endeavors assessing different aspects of the quantum computing industry. In one such recent endeavor we explored how quantum computing is set to transform key industries, with insights on its potential in weather modeling, agri-tech, advancements in drug discovery, enhancements in data security and encryption, and the intriguing science of black holes.

The FTC platform is powerful, and it is an honor to work with this diverse group of thought leaders who are pushing the boundaries of technology to shape the future.

The quantum seed I highlight here is distinct from the common seed that drives the current development of the quantum computing industry, where progress is clear and goals are well-defined. This seed, born from the challenges of creating the mathematical model central to the ten-book Cosmology of Light series is new and different, bringing with it many unknowns.

The creation of this quantum seed has been shaped by several waves. The first wave involved the intense phase of writing the ten-volume mathematical treatise on light. The second wave continued with the writing of peer-reviewed IEEE articles to test key concepts of the cosmology of light with academic audiences worldwide. The third wave focused on translating these concepts, which propose a different trajectory for quantum computing, into business-oriented Forbes articles. The fourth wave comprised a series of Forbes quantum computing events to further test these concepts with global tech executives and a series of six recent academic talks.

This seed suggests a different developmental trajectory for the quantum computing industry. To shed light on this quantum seed I share a series of recent talks delivered at prestigious institutes over the last three months, including Imperial College of Science and Technology, Cambridge University, and the Indian Institute of Management (Mumbai). The titles of these talks provide insight into what I am referring to:



1. Quaternary Interpretation of Quantum Dynamics
2. Fourfold Quantum-Based Source of Energy
3. An Ideal Pulsed Electromagnetic Device Based on a Multi-Dimensional Model of Light
4. Exploring New Horizons in Quantum Computation: A Multi-Faceted View of the Double-Slit Experiment
5. Sensing the Emergence of New Structure in Matter and Life and its Impact on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in a Light-Based Quantum Computational Model
6. Genetics & Intent-Based Quantum Computation

The quantum seed I highlight suggests new ways to perceive and interpret quantum dynamics. Numerous experiments can be conducted to reveal a "functional" basis for quantum dynamics, leading to a foundation for different mathematics and logic to drive a new order of quantum computation and create a distinct architectural platform.

I have begun conceptualizing such experiments by leveraging the field of atomtronics, an emerging type of computing that consists of matter-wave circuits that coherently guide ultra-cold atoms. The accompanying illustration highlights my first use of Infleqtion's Oqtant platform to create a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) consisting of about 8000 Rubidium atoms at a temperature of 97 billionths of a degree above absolute zero!

BECs possess unique properties that make them crucial for understanding the quantum world. Typically, quantum effects are observable only at the level of tiny particles, but BECs can demonstrate quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale.

I foresee that BECs combined with appropriate atomtronic circuits, will become a powerful means to leverage the quantum seed highlighted in this newsletter.
