Research abstract
"It has proved difficult to code arbitrary algorithms in the quantum computingparadigm. We have noticed that our patented corob Technology shares a commonhigh dimensional mathematical basis with entangled qubits. Corob Technologyis a computationally complete alternative computing paradigm in its own right.The common mathematical basis provides a means for us to map the known propertiesand programming paradigm of corob Technology-particularly CAM capabilities-intothe quantum computing domain. We expect this to result in a generic corob-inspiredquantum CAM compiler system. We have engaged Dr. Tommaso Toffoli of "reversibleToffoli gate" fame as a consultant for this project.In Phase I we will show mathematically that the known corob properties ofhigh dimensional spaces apply to the spinor constrained high-dimensional spacesformed by entangled qubits. We have Fast Track investors available, and we willsubmit a Phase II proposal, as early in Phase I as possible, to design andimplement the product needs of the Air Force and the commercial product interestsof our chosen Fast Track partner. We expect to begin marketing initial quantumcomputing tools before the end of Phase II. This technology will form the basis of a new direction and product line inquantum computing. It has strong dual use capabilities wherever massive speedupis important. It provides both near term commercial tools and future products."
