QUANTUM SHORTS 2017: RUNNER UP, OPEN CATEGORY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> Read an interview with the author<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The week I was granted my PhD my girlfriend of five years left me. \u201cAt least I waited,\u201d her note read. \u201cIt seemed unfair to leave before you finished defending your thesis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apartment echoed. I owned so few things. A towel. A sad plate and spoon. She left me a lone jade plant. I ate my soup and ruminated; she had been the endoskeleton of my life. A support I hadn\u2019t noticed until it was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had work, at least. There was always that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I graduated into a vibrant job market. It was a time of global competition for quantum AI supremacy. Qubits and entangled photons underpinned much of the world\u2019s economy, but there was a problem. A problem that gobbled up PhDs as fast as our universities could produce us. \u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the ruins of Beijing I send a rose to you. The rose is ashes. My hands all in ashes. I speak and ashes fall from my mouth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years ago, shortly after Brianna and I moved in together, quantum communication systems around the world began to exhibit something we eventually called entropic accumulation. At first, engineers saw it as unexpected noise; they invented algorithms to remove it. But quantum computers soon developed similar issues, expressed as errors in computation. Nobody could solve it. Money flowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduation, I was hired by a national laboratory. Work was chaotic; our best minds continuously threw ideas at junior associates like myself, pressing us to test them out. It absorbed as many hours as I cared to devote to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brianna had said the jade plant was one thing I shouldn\u2019t be able to destroy through neglect. I managed to kill it in five weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For longer than the Emperor sits enthroned in Berlin my love for you will burn. But your parents have forbidden our match and you are betrothed to another. Oh, sweet pain! Stab my heart with needles! I am woe embodied.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Error correction absorbed more and more processing cycles. At this rate, we would have to abandon quantum computation in few years. Return, defeated, to the classical world. The economic cost measured in hundreds of billions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggested, tentatively, to my supervisor that the symptoms looked like a type of crosstalk. \u201cThese circuits are entirely quantum,\u201d she snapped. \u201cCrosstalk can\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I had an idea, and couldn\u2019t shake it. The many-worlds explanation for the processing power of quantum computers had fallen from favour, but it had not been disproven. If it was true, if the qubits of our computers were smeared across countless universes in superposition, then perhaps something akin to crosstalk could happen. Information could leak through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online, obsessive amateurs shared samples of noise removed from quantum communication channels. They were convinced it held meaning. They ran deep learning algorithms on it, turned it into audio waveforms. But it stubbornly remained noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2028They call it internal exile. Ha! I was internally exiled long before they sent me to the Alaskan gulag. My only regret is being apart from you. We hack at the frozen ground with picks, an idiotic labor. I can barely remember your lips.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stayed late often at the lab, loaded noise files into our own straining quantum machines. The problem with the obsessives, I realized, might simply be that they lacked the resources to prove or disprove their theories and existed in a superposition themselves, all the possible states of their speculation true and false at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One morning a line of text floated on my monitor. From the ruins of Beijing I send a rose to you.<\/em> My lonely triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The algorithm I developed opened everything. The nets went wild decoding the noise. An overwhelming torrent of information followed, in all the known languages of the world and many unknown. They were collected. Curated. As many people did, I found fragments that spoke to me.
\u2028
That mating season in the Southlands. Do you remember our scent trails in the marshes? The way the noble Pztach groaned as you stung it? Oh, the feeling once I\u2019d laid my eggs\u2014our eggs\u2014in the beast. That bright future we were both so sure of. Where have those days gone now?<\/em>
\u2028
Unfortunately, I hadn\u2019t solved the problem, just provided fodder for discussion boards and tabloids and nascent religions. I did, however, get my own office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked with a quiet woman named Ana-Luiza. I barely noticed her until she sat with me at lunch one day. A surprise. \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about entropy,\u201d she explained. \u201cManipulating information always increases entropy. Computation is constrained by Bremerman\u2019s Limit. But what if there\u2019s a loophole? What if you could dump the entropy? What if you could send it into another universe altogether?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow does this help with the problem?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pushed her hair behind her ears. She had delicate ears. \u201cIt\u2019s simple,\u201d she said, her voice confident. \u201cOther universes just figured this out before us. We\u2019re drowning in their entropy, in their discarded data.\u201d
\u2028
I saw you. On the elevator to Luna Station. Me: decanted bioform, type 7, but with a type 5 heart and a soul patch. You: a daring jellyfish augment. Red dorsals and a taste for old-school Thump. I asked you for a recharge and our eyes met. Wish I\u2019d got your number. <\/em>
\u2028
For helping save quantum computation and the economy, Ana-Luiza also got her own office. We\u2019d worked out how to block the noise and<\/em> how to make our computers vastly more efficient by dumping our own entropy into a billion other hapless universes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were awards. After one ceremony she invited me to dinner. We sat at a candlelit table. During our work together we\u2019d developed a superposition of our own, ripe with potential. It was time to collapse it. \u201cWhat now?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou tell me,\u201d she said, and smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2028Do we try again? Risk heartbreak and loss? There are only two possibilities: yes or no.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
