It has proved difficult to code arbitrary algorithms in the quantum computing paradigm. We have noticed that our patented corob Technology shares a common high dimensional mathematical basis with entangled qubits. Corob Technology is a computationally complete alternative computing paradigm in its own right. The common mathematical basis provides a means for us to map the known properties and programming paradigm of corob Technology-particularly CAM capabilities-into the quantum computing domain. We expect this to result in a generic corob-inspired quantum CAM compiler system. We have engaged Dr. Tommaso Toffoli of "reversible Toffoli gate" fame as a consultant for this project. In Phase I we will show mathematically that the known corob properties of high dimensional spaces apply to the spinor constrained high-dimensional spaces formed by entangled qubits. We have Fast Track investors available, and we will submit a Phase II proposal, as early in Phase I as possible, to design and implement the product needs of the Air Force and the commercial product interests of our chosen Fast Track partner. We expect to begin marketing initial quantum computing tools before the end of Phase II.

Benefits:
This technology will form the basis of a new direction and product line in quantum computing. It has strong dual use capabilities wherever massive speedup is important. It provides both near term commercial tools and future products.

The corob computing paradigm is our patented "synthetic organism" technology. Data is represented in this paradigm as "corobs," which are points in bounded high-dimensional spaces. In Phase I we showed that corobs could be imposed on ensembles of isolated quantum states and that these "quantum corobs" survive quantum measurement. This is possible because corobs are purely statistical objects that emerge from properties of certain kinds of probability distributions. We can predict only the probability distribution of the possible outcomes of a quantum measurement, but in Phase I we showed that "ensembles" of isolated quantum states inherently generate the kinds of probability distributions that support corobs. This means that we can "store" corob data tokens into these quantum ensembles, and we can reliably retrieve them. Accordingly, we now have a new kind of quantum computing paradigm to explore. We have already found several very promising applications in areas such as computer chip manufacture and telecommunications. Our objective in this project is to build a commercial software tool and documentation to help make quantum corob ensemble technology accessible and usable to a wide audience that includes not only Air Force personnel, but quantum researchers, engineers, programmers and students everywhere. We want to enable this audience to learn about, create, model, manipulate, analyze and quantify systems based on quantum corob ensembles. We will sell this tool itself and license the intellectual properties we will develop around it. In addition, in Phase III we expect to do significant amounts of business through the use of this tool for training, consulting and contracting in this exciting new field.
