Quantum, Gravity and Atom Computing

Abstract

This paper proposes a unified framework connecting quantum phenomena, gravity and computation through a redefinition of matter and particle behaviour based on the Principles of Matter, or Laws of Unity. The paper addresses two fundamental questions it identifies as unresolved in current physics: how a quantum is produced and why its magnitude is discrete, by advancing a model in which matter comprises potential-energy, sharing-energy and excess-energy, whose interactions generate a unified force interpreted as inertia. Within this framework, gravity (inertia-at-rest) is attributed to sharing-energy, whereas motion and heat (inertia-in-motion) are attributed to excess-energy. On this basis, the paper redefines a quantum as a free particle that emerges when sufficient excess-energy overcomes binding sharing-energy, rather than as an intrinsically discrete packet. It then examines the implications of this reinterpretation for contemporary computing, arguing that transistor computing faces material scaling constraints and that quantum computing inherits both practical limitations and conceptual weakness on the current definition of the quantum. As an alternative, the paper introduces atom computing, in which atoms replace transistors and controlled flows of single electrons or photons enable deterministic switching, through electronic and photonic implementations. Analogue optical computing is discussed as another promising paradigm for specialised computation. The paper argues that this revised account of matter and energy interactions may support computational architectures beyond the limits of current transistor- and qubit-based systems.
