I'm curious: what kind of quantum logic are you working on?

Can you elaborate on what grounds did your advisor disadvise you to follow academic schooling?

Breaking arithmetic down to a single operator represented as movement and a single value represented as null/zero. Because there is no variation in operator or value you can remove them from the equation so only the structure remains. You can use that structure to create fractals storing information, manipulate and navigate through them. Working on the final prototype now and got rough designs to implement in hardware but its getting severely delayed because of absence of UBI.

There are two types of higher education here, academic and applied. School adviser had no clue and advised to walk the applied path because it would get me into computer science one year faster. Yeah, applied CS, but I needed academic. Tried to get back onto the train, did hardware and software for a total of 9 years but in the end the gap was too large to get recognised and make the jump. One advantage though, it allowed me to think outside the academic box.

Thanks! So for your prototype you need a new hardware design? Or can the idea be validated in Qiskit/Q#?

Not necessary, I can emulate in software which I am doing now. I'm not sure if validation software works as intended because the concept isn't quantum physics and for traditional it has no explicit and/or/xor gates. Quantum might be a dangerous word now as the meaning has been hijacked, I should be more careful. This design has a new type of gate which is more like a vector of switches. It doesn't differentiate between the logic type because those have been broken down into terms of that switch. It's all about connection. Memory is also different, more like bit sequential memory. But ultimately I do hope to get it running on dedicated hardware. Also dreaming of the possibility with polarised light and crystals because of the uniformity of the switch.
