We’ve Developed Theoretical Frameworks That Promise 10-100× Improvements in Superconducting Quantum Systems
The quantum computing industry stands at a critical inflection point. While companies like IBM, Google, and Rigetti have demonstrated impressive qubit counts and landmark computational milestones, the path to fault-tolerant, commercially viable quantum computers remains obstructed by fundamental physical limitations. Two challenges, in particular, continue to constrain progress: systematic measurement errors that corrupt quantum information during readout, and energy dissipation that degrades coherence in superconducting circuits.
At Physivitis, we’ve developed two complementary theoretical frameworks that address these barriers at their physical roots.
The Measurement Problem: More Than Just Noise
Every quantum computation ends with measurement — the moment when fragile quantum states must be read out as classical information. In superconducting quantum circuits, this process is far from straightforward. The act of measuring a qubit doesn’t simply extract information; it fundamentally disturbs the quantum system through a phenomenon known as measurement backaction.
Current approaches treat this backaction largely as an unavoidable nuisance something to be minimised through engineering refinements or corrected through error-correction protocols. But what if the backaction itself follows precise, predictable laws that could be harnessed rather than merely suppressed?
We’ve developed a rigorous theoretical framework that models the coherent interaction between detection systems and quantum fields during measurement. Rather than treating detector-induced disturbances as random perturbations, our framework reveals systematic patterns that, once understood, can be anticipated and compensated for at the hardware level.
The implications are significant. Our preliminary theoretical analysis suggests that proper application of these principles could yield measurement accuracy improvements of 10× to 100× compared to current state-of-the-art techniques. For quantum computing, where measurement fidelity directly limits computational depth and error-correction overhead, such improvements would be transformative.
The Dissipation Challenge: Energy Loss at the Quantum Scale
Superconducting quantum computers operate at temperatures colder than outer space typically around 15 millikelvin precisely because thermal energy destroys the delicate quantum states that encode information. Yet even at these extreme temperatures, energy dissipation persists. Supercurrents, though nominally “lossless,” interact with their environment in subtle ways that drain coherence from qubits.
This dissipation manifests as decoherence: the gradual loss of quantum information that limits how long qubits can maintain their computational states. Extending coherence times is one of the central challenges in building practical quantum computers, and the industry has invested billions in materials science, fabrication techniques, and circuit design to push these times ever higher.
We’ve developed a complementary framework addressing the fundamental physics of energy dissipation in superconducting systems. Our theoretical approach identifies previously unrecognised mechanisms through which coherence is lost and, crucially, provides design principles for mitigating or eliminating these loss channels.
The potential impact extends beyond marginal improvements in coherence times. If validated experimentally, our framework could fundamentally change how superconducting quantum circuits are designed and operated, reducing the extreme cooling requirements that currently make quantum computers extraordinarily expensive and complex to maintain.
Synergy: Why These Frameworks Belong Together
What makes our approach particularly compelling is the complementary nature of these two advances. Our measurement framework provides the theoretical foundation for extracting quantum information with unprecedented fidelity, while our dissipation framework ensures that quantum states remain intact long enough for computation and readout to occur.
Together, they address the quantum computing pipeline from both ends: preserving coherence during computation and accurately capturing results during measurement. This integrated approach could accelerate the path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing more effectively than either advance alone.
Where We Are Today
We’ve reached a pivotal moment. Our theoretical foundations are established, intellectual property protection is in place, and our frameworks are ready for experimental validation. We’re now seeking the partners and investment needed to take these innovations to the next level.
The quantum computing market is projected to reach $65 billion by 2030, yet fundamental physical barriers continue to limit progress. Our innovations target precisely these bottlenecks and we believe we’re positioned to make a meaningful contribution to solving them.
