Abstract :
This paper studies fundamentals of quantum processing on measurable processable compatible observables in microscopic systems which undergo quantum state transitions. The aforementioned microscopic devices (processing primitives) form processing fabrics. We examine the premise of quantum processing by: (1) Unifying and enabling theoretical concepts of theoretical computer science, computer engineering and quantum mechanics; (2) Examining the first principles; (3) Researching device physics; (4) Fostering fundamentally-consistent and practical microscopic hardware solutions. Vertebrates and invertebrates exhibit extraordinary information processing which is performed by biomolecules and molecular aggregates. Information processing in natural systems has not been comprehended, while engineered quantum processing is an emerging paradigm. This paradigm focuses on developments of a great number of new solutions such as microscopic devices, processing arithmetics (calculi), system architectures, etc. The microscopic processing primitives must exhibit utilizable quantum-effect state transitions on observables which result in computable transforms from viewpoints of processing arithmetics, calculus and design. The reported paradigm: (i) Eases enormous challenges; (ii) Overcomes foremost inconsistencies of naive algorithmically-centric computing; (iii) Enables new inroads; (iv) Promises unprecedented processing capabilities ensuring far-reaching benchmarks; (v) Significant advances theory and practice of natural and engineered processing. Our findings support a broad spectrum of transformative research activities.
