This project addresses the challenge of overcoming the shortcomings of current quantum computing platforms and approaches. Quantum computing is essentially phase-based computing. Many aspects of quantum computing can therefore be tackled with acoustic-based phase computing. New Frontiers of Sound (NewFoS) will address the development of Topological Acoustic (TA) platforms supporting (a) large exponentially-complex scalable spaces of states (Hilbert space) for multiple nonlinear phi-bits (acoustic qubit analogues); (b) coherent superpositions of strongly correlated nonlinear phi-bits; and (c) operations and algorithms on coherent superpositions of large multiple phi-bit systems.
Project 1 anticipated output is the demonstration of the world-first ambient operation tabletop 50 phi-bit computer. This platform has the potential of operating on complex data strings of up to 250 components, that is ~1015 complex numbers and this in a millisecond. The outcome of project 1 goes beyond a demonstration platform and establishes robust revolutionary TA-based quantum-inspired computing modalities which do not suffer from quantum fragility.
