 ETH Zurich Develops Quantum Chip with Mechanical Memory

A team of physicists from ETH Zurich, led by Yven Chu, introduced a quantum chip where the working memory is based on mechanical resonators instead of electromagnetic elements.The system’s architecture resembles a conventional computer, where the processor (CPU) is separate from the random-access memory (RAM). In this case, a superconducting qubit serves as the CPU, while mechanical resonators act as the RAM.

Data is recorded as microscopic vibrations, similar to the trembling of a guitar string. Each vibration pattern corresponds to a separate memory cell. According to Chu, this separation of computation and storage makes the system more efficient and flexible.

Mechanical memory offers several advantages over electromagnetic memory:

mechanical resonators are significantly smaller than their electromagnetic counterparts;

a chip measuring just 7.5 by 2.5 mm supports complex computations;

quantum states in the form of vibrations are preserved longer, reducing the risk of data loss.

The scientists have already tested the development on complex tasks. The chip successfully executed the quantum Fourier transform algorithm and period finding. These operations are crucial for the functioning of future fully-fledged quantum systems.

The experiment demonstrated that vibration-based architecture is suitable for creating programmable quantum computers. Researchers now plan to test how the technology performs when scaling the system.

Earlier, in May, scientists from ETH Zurich developed a method for creating mathematically perfect randomness.

Quantum Memory Matrix: A Framework for Resolving the Black Hole Information Paradox

The Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) hypothesis offers a novel approach to addressing the Black Hole Information Paradox, which arises from the apparent conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR). This paradox questions how information is preserved during black hole formation and evaporation, as Hawking radiation suggests information loss, challenging the principle of unitarity in QM.

Core Concepts of the QMM Hypothesis

The QMM framework proposes that space-time itself acts as a dynamic quantum information reservoir, encoding information through quantum imprints at the Planck scale. These imprints store data about quantum states and interactions directly within the fabric of space-time, ensuring information conservation during black hole processes.

Key principles include:

Space-Time Quantization: At the Planck scale, space-time is discretized into fundamental units (quantum cells), each associated with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. This aligns with theories like loop quantum gravity.

Quantum Imprints: These represent localized modifications in space-time quanta caused by quantum interactions, embedding information about quantum fields and their properties.

Unitarity Preservation: The combined evolution of quantum fields and the QMM is governed by a Hermitian Hamiltonian, ensuring that information is neither lost nor destroyed.

Mechanisms for Information Encoding and Retrieval

The QMM framework outlines a three-phase process for handling information in black hole dynamics:

Encoding Phase: Quantum fields interacting with the QMM at the event horizon leave quantum imprints, marking the transition from external states to encoded internal states.

Storage Phase: Information is retained within the QMM, preserving its integrity even as the black hole evolves.

Retrieval Phase: During Hawking radiation emission, stored information is transferred back via interactions between the QMM and outgoing radiation modes. This suggests that Hawking radiation may carry observable correlations reflecting the black hole's history.

Advantages Over Existing Theories

The QMM hypothesis distinguishes itself from other approaches like the holographic principle and firewall theories by:

Encoding information locally within space-time quanta, avoiding reliance on boundary projections or exotic constructs.

Preserving the equivalence principle and maintaining smoothness at the event horizon.

Operating within familiar four-dimensional space-time, making it experimentally accessible.

Observable Implications and Experimental Pathways

The QMM framework predicts measurable deviations in physical phenomena, such as:

Non-Thermal Features in Hawking Radiation: Deviations from a perfect blackbody spectrum due to quantum imprints.

Gravitational Wave Anomalies: Modifications to waveforms during black hole mergers, particularly in the ringdown phase.

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Signatures: Anisotropies or polarization effects caused by QMM-induced quantum imprints.

Future advancements in observational technologies, such as gravitational wave detectors (e.g., LIGO, Virgo) and gamma-ray observatories, could provide empirical validation for the QMM hypothesis

Hue and cry over AI bubble wailers

 Amid all the negatory hubbub I noticed a certain B Bernake getting hired by big AI. Not much classically human looks terribly consequential these days but this. This could be different.

Along with his partner in crime, Paulson, Ben threw a giant tarp over the US banking sector back in the late noughties. The man behind the man could be useful in any global financial crisis.  I would even go as far to say he could constitute an entire new second front in the crypto war.

But Ive been wrong hefore. In fact, if I wanted to go to Dublin I wouldnt start here.

Dawn of a new science

Summary:

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical computers cannot handle. The achievement demonstrates a new path toward simulating particle collisions and extreme forms of matter. It may ultimately illuminate long-standing cosmic mysteries.

Quantum testing Twistor theories

 One step beyond

But now, says Halimeh, quantum computers are slated to be “the major player” in understanding what happens in the hearts of particle colliders.

When very energetic ions get smashed together in a collider, they produce showers of particles that hit detectors – the data is like the last few frames of a movie, and physicists can use it to reverse engineer what happened in the frames before. But quantum computers could let us start with the collision and understand what happens next, he says.

Ten years after

 I came up with splitkey cosmology in 2015. Now theyre testing for universal PKI.

The concept of computers running on gravity is explored in the article "Could computers run on gravity?" by Karmela Padavic-Callaghan in New Scientist, published in June 2025. The article discusses the possibility of computers operating on gravity, suggesting that manipulating space-time could be a method of processing information. 

This idea is supported by research indicating that gravity may be a product of computational processes within the universe, potentially indicating that our reality is a simulated construct. The article also examines the second law of infodynamics, which suggests that information entropy in the universe should remain constant or decrease over time, aligning with the notion of gravity as an indicator of matter distribution.
