25 Quantum Technology
25.1 GPT Core Quantization
The core of GPT technology (such as word2vec, word embedding) can be replaced by quantum algorithms, which is called GPT quantum computing. There have been some experiments on how to use quantum algorithms with word2vec:
• An experiment conducted by researchers in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University used a quantum method called "word2ket" to store word embedding matrices in a more efficient way. This approach reduces the space required to store embeddings by a factor of a hundred or more, with little relative degradation in accuracy in real natural language processing tasks.
• Another experiment by researchers at the University of Padov in Italy, the Open University in the UK and the Beijing Institute of Technology in China used a quantum method called "quantum word embedding" to learn word embeddings from quantum data sets. This approach shows that quantum word embeddings can achieve better accuracy than classical word embeddings on certain tasks, such as sentiment analysis.
These experiments are still in their early stages, but they demonstrate the potential of quantum algorithms to improve the performance of word2vec and other natural language processing tasks. As quantum computing technology continues to develop, we can expect to see more research in this area.
If GPT technology is successfully transformed into quantum computing, a large number of GPUs can be replaced by quantum processors, reducing the cost of data centers and home computers.

25.2 Quantum technology is still in its infancy
The experiments described above do not prove that quantum computing is more efficient in all tasks than GPU computing, the image processor currently used to handle artificial intelligence. But they do show that quantum algorithms have the potential to be more efficient for certain tasks, such as word embeddings.
It's worth noting that quantum computing is still in its early stages of development. Currently available quantum computers are very small and noisy, which limits their ability to perform complex calculations. As quantum computers continue to develop and become more powerful, we can expect to see more experiments demonstrating the advantages of quantum computing over classical computing.
Here are some of the challenges that need to be addressed before quantum computing can be widely used:
• Need for more qubits: Quantum computers need to have a large number of qubits to perform complex calculations. Currently, the largest quantum computers have only a few dozen qubits.
• Need for better error correction: Quantum computers are very sensitive to errors, so they need to be able to correct errors in order to perform accurate calculations.
• Need for more efficient algorithms: Quantum algorithms need to be more efficient than classical algorithms to be practical.
Despite these challenges, the potential of quantum computing remains exciting. If these challenges can be solved, quantum computing could revolutionize many industries, including drug discovery, finance, and materials science.
25.3 Quantum consciousness enhances general intelligence and general creativity
Quantum computable technology that leverages human consciousness can enhance general intelligence and general creativity. This is based on the following assumption: Compared with traditional classical computers, quantum computers not only have so-called quantum superiority in running speed, but also have superiority in intelligence. This hypothesis is based on the ideas of several mathematical masters, who all believe that human consciousness and creativity originate from quantum phenomena. For example: (1) Biomathematician Stuart A. Kauffman, who published the book "Reinventing the Sacred" in 2012, mentioned Quantum Brain in Chapter 13, saying that human consciousness may be caused by quantum phenomena. (2) Physicist Giuseppe Vitiello also mentioned in his book "My Double Unveiled (2001)" that water molecules in the brain may lead to quantum phenomena. Chapter 5 of his book talks about Quantum Brain Dynamics, and his chapter of Chapter 7 Human consciousness is also discussed. (3) As for the physics master Roger Penrose, Chapter 10 of his book "The Emperor's New Mind (1989)" also discusses the definition of consciousness, although I think his Quantum Gravity Dynamics seems unrealistic. In any case, I prefer Kauffman's theory and agree more with his emergence theory, that is, human creativity also originates from the Quantum Brain. My conclusion is: due to quantum phenomena, people have consciousness, then wisdom, and then creativity. Therefore, quantum computers are fundamentally more innovative than conventional computers running artificial intelligence software. I even used mathematics to prove at the International Quantum Conference that quantum consciousness can be calculated.
If this hypothesis is correct, then it may be possible to use quantum computing technology to enhance general intelligence and general creativity.
First, quantum computing can be used to simulate complex systems, including the human brain. This will help us better understand human consciousness and creativity, thereby developing new artificial intelligence and creative tools.
Secondly, quantum computing can be used to solve complex problems that traditional computers cannot solve. This will help us develop new technologies, such as new medical diagnostic methods, new materials and new drugs. These technologies can enhance our cognitive abilities and creativity.
Here are some specific examples:
• Quantum computing can be used to simulate neuronal networks in the human brain. This will help us understand how humans think, learn and create.
• Quantum computing can be used to develop new artificial intelligence algorithms. These algorithms can learn and understand complex data more efficiently.
• Quantum computing can be used to develop new creative tools. These tools help us generate new ideas and solutions.
Taking it a step further, if we can build some psychological models and run these models on quantum computers, then we can more accurately predict the psychology of individuals or groups. This will have a significant impact on multiple industries, including finance, advertising and mental health care.
**In finance,** more accurate psychological models can help financial institutions better understand customer behavior and preferences. This will enable them to develop investment strategies more efficiently, develop new financial products and services, and reduce risk.
**In the world of advertising,** more accurate psychological models can help advertisers better understand the needs and interests of their target audiences. This will allow them to create more effective advertising and increase sales.
**In the field of mental health care,** more accurate psychological models can help psychiatrists better diagnose and treat mental illness. This will help improve treatment rates for mental illness and improve patients' quality of life.
Here are some specific examples:
• In finance, quantum computing can be used to simulate investor behavior in the stock market. This will help financial institutions better predict market fluctuations and make more informed investment decisions.
• In advertising, quantum computing can be used to analyze social media data to understand user interests and preferences. This will help advertisers create more engaging ads and increase click-through rates.
• In the field of psychological medicine, quantum computing can be used to simulate neuronal networks in the brain. This will help psychiatrists better understand the roots of mental illness and develop new treatments.
Of course, these are just some possibilities. The potential of quantum computing is enormous, and more research is needed to understand how it can be harnessed to enhance general intelligence and general creativity, and more research is needed to understand how mental models can be leveraged to transform these industries.
Here are some suggestions:
• We need to strengthen fundamental research in quantum computing to develop more powerful quantum computers.
• We need to cultivate more quantum computing talents to develop and apply new quantum computing technologies.
• We need policies and regulations to ensure the safe and secure use of quantum computing technology.
I believe that with the development of quantum computing technology, we will be able to develop new technologies that fundamentally change the way we live.
25.4 Quantization of CAS technology
Genetic algorithms, the core of complex adaptive systems (CAS), can also be replaced by quantum algorithms.
25.4.1 The relationship between complexity theory and quantum Turing machine
Complex theory is a branch of computer science that studies the difficulty of computational problems. Quantum Turing Machine is a computer model that can use quantum mechanical effects to perform calculations.
The connection between complexity theory and quantum Turing machines is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:
• Complexity theory can be used to analyze the computational complexity of quantum Turing machines.
• Quantum Turing machines can be used to solve some computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers.
In the first aspect, complexity theory can be used to analyze the computational complexity of a quantum Turing machine, that is, how long a computational problem takes to be solved on a quantum Turing machine. For example, we can use complexity theory to show that certain computational problems are NP-complete on a classical computer but solvable on a quantum Turing machine.
In the second aspect, quantum Turing machines can be used to solve some computing problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. For example, quantum Turing machines can be used to quickly crack classical encryption algorithms or quickly calculate some complex mathematical problems.
Here are some specific examples:
• The Horowitz-Sam Watson algorithm (Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm) is a quantum algorithm that can be used to determine whether a polynomial is reversible. This algorithm takes polynomial time to solve on a classical computer, but only linear time on a quantum Turing machine.
• The Sherrill-Watson algorithm (Shor's algorithm) is a quantum algorithm that can quickly crack RSA passwords. This algorithm takes exponential time to solve on a classical computer, but only polynomial time on a quantum Turing machine.
• The Goldstrom-Hoffman algorithm (Grover's algorithm) is a quantum algorithm that can quickly search a database. This algorithm takes square time to solve on a classical computer, but only linear time on a quantum Turing machine.
Overall, complexity theory and quantum Turing machines are two closely related areas of computer science. Complexity theory can be used to analyze the computational complexity of quantum graph zero machines, and quantum graph zero machines can be used to solve some computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers.
25.4.2 The relationship between complex feedback systems and quantum computing
Complex adaptive systems, a type of complexity theory, are related to quantum computing.
A complex feedback system is a system composed of a large number of interacting elements whose behavior can influence and change each other. For example, social systems, biological systems, and economic systems are all complex feedback systems.
Quantum computing is a technology that uses quantum mechanical effects to perform calculations. Quantum computing can be used to simulate the behavior of complex feedback systems and gain new insights from them.
Here are some connections between complex feedback systems and quantum computing:
• **Quantum computing can be used to simulate the behavior of complex feedback systems. **For example, quantum computing can be used to simulate the workings of the brain, or simulate the fluctuations of financial markets.
• **Quantum computing can be used to gain new insights from complex feedback systems. **For example, quantum computing can be used to discover new drugs, or develop new materials.
• **Quantum computing can be used to design new complex feedback systems. **For example, quantum computing can be used to design new machine learning algorithms, or to design new intelligent transportation systems.
Here are some specific examples:
• In the field of biology, quantum computing can be used to simulate the folding process of proteins or the mutation process of genes.
• In the field of chemistry, quantum computing can be used to design new drugs, or to design new materials.
• In the financial field, quantum computing can be used to simulate fluctuations in financial markets or develop new financial models.
• In materials science, quantum computing can be used to design new materials or develop new energy technologies.
Overall, complex feedback systems and quantum computing are two closely related fields. Quantum computing can be used to simulate the behavior of complex feedback systems and gain new insights from them.
If you don't understand complex adaptive systems (CAS), you can read the book "signals and boundaries" written by John Holland in 2012. It can be seen that the basic algorithm of CAS is Genetic Algorithm (GA).
25.4.3 Quantization of genetic algorithms
Many scholars who study CAS, a complex feedback system, believe that genetic algorithm GA can be used to simulate the behavior of CAS.
The core idea of GA is to simulate the evolutionary process in nature. In nature, organisms continuously evolve through processes such as inheritance, mutation, and selection to adapt to changes in the environment. GA also uses a similar process to find the optimal solution.
A CAS is also a system composed of a large number of interacting elements whose behavior can influence and change each other. GA can be used to simulate elemental interactions in CAS and gain new insights from them.
For example, GA can be used to simulate group behavior in social systems, market fluctuations in economic systems, evolutionary processes in biological systems, etc.
Therefore, many scholars who study CAS believe that GA is an effective CAS simulation tool.
If most scholars believe that GA is the basic algorithm of CAS, then does quantum computing also need to quantize GA?
The answer is yes. Quantum computing can be used to simulate the behavior of CAS, and GA is an effective CAS simulation tool
