Our framework uses geometric structures to protect quantum information and accelerate computations. Here's a practical guide:
Traditional quantum computing faces three key challenges:
-
Errors: Quantum states are fragile and easily corrupted
- Decoherence destroys quantum information
- Gate operations introduce noise
- Measurements can collapse states
-
Scaling: Operations become expensive with more qubits
- Error correction requires many physical qubits
- Circuit depth grows rapidly
- Classical control overhead increases
-
Hardware: Real devices have noise and connectivity limits
- Limited coherence times
- Restricted qubit connectivity
- Noisy gates and measurements
Our geometric approach provides natural protection:
-
Topological Protection
// Configure geometric protection protection_config_t config = { .manifold = MANIFOLD_COMPLEX_PROJECTIVE, // CP^n geometry .connection = CONNECTION_NATURAL, // Berry connection .transport = TRANSPORT_PARALLEL // Parallel transport };
- States live on protected manifolds
- Errors must overcome energy barriers
- Information is topologically protected
-
Geometric Operations
// Compute geometric phase float phase = compute_geometric_phase(state); // Transport state along geodesic parallel_transport(state, path);
- Operations follow natural geometry
- Phases encode quantum information
- Evolution preserves structure
-
Hardware Adaptation
// Configure for specific hardware hardware_config_t config = { .topology = quantum_get_topology(), // Device layout .noise_model = quantum_get_noise(), // Error rates .connectivity = quantum_get_graph() // Qubit connections };
- Respects device constraints
- Optimizes for noise patterns
- Minimizes communication
Here's how it works in practice:
-
Differential Geometry: Enables natural optimization on manifolds through:
// Create Bell state (|00⟩ + |11⟩)/√2 ComplexFloat amplitudes[4] = { {1.0f/sqrt(2.0f), 0.0f}, // |00⟩ {0.0f, 0.0f}, // |01⟩ {0.0f, 0.0f}, // |10⟩ {1.0f/sqrt(2.0f), 0.0f} // |11⟩ }; // Compute geometric tensor ComplexFloat tensor[4]; // 2x2 tensor compute_geometric_tensor(state, generators, tensor); // Compute Berry curvature float curvature; compute_berry_curvature(state, generators, &curvature);
- Riemannian metrics measure quantum state distances
- Berry connection guides parallel transport
- Curvature tensors detect geometric phases
-
Quantum Computing: Provides exponential speedup through:
// Create parameter generators quantum_operator* generators[2]; quantum_operator_set_pauli(generators[0], PAULI_X, 0); quantum_operator_set_pauli(generators[1], PAULI_Z, 1); // Transport along path float tangent_vector[3] = {1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}; parallel_transport(state, connection, tangent_vector, step_size);
- Quantum state manipulation
- Geometric phase tracking
- Error-protected evolution
-
Geometric Deep Learning: Preserves structural invariants through:
// Compute geometric phase along path float phase; compute_geometric_phase(state, theta, phi, num_steps, &phase);
- Gauge-invariant operations
- Holonomy-aware updates
- Topology-preserving transforms
The core innovation is our O(log n) attention mechanism:
A(Q,K,V) = softmax((QK^T/√d)∘exp(iΩ))V
where:
- Q,K,V ∈ ℂ^(n×d): Query, key, value matrices
- Ω: Berry curvature matrix encoding geometric phase
- ∘: Hadamard (elementwise) product
Key properties:
-
Hierarchical Decomposition:
QK^T = U₁Σ₁V₁^T + ... + UₖΣₖVₖ^Twhere k = O(log n) through adaptive rank truncation
-
Geometric Phase Integration:
γᵢⱼ = Im[log⟨ψᵢ|ψⱼ⟩ - ∫_i^j A_μdx^μ]where A_μ is the Berry connection
-
Error Bounds:
||A - A_approx|| ≤ C⋅exp(-αk)with exponential convergence in rank k
The differential transformer extends standard transformers with geometric structure:
// Create attention with geometric phase
geometric_attention_config config = {
.num_heads = num_heads,
.head_dim = dim / num_heads,
.dropout = dropout_rate,
.use_geometric_bias = true
};
// Initialize quantum states in superposition
for (size_t i = 0; i < total_size; i++) {
float angle = 2.0f * M_PI * i / total_size;
q_data[i].real = cos(angle) / sqrt((float)dim);
q_data[i].imag = sin(angle) / sqrt((float)dim);
}
// Compute attention with geometric protection
geometric_attention_forward(attn, query, key, value, output);
// Analyze geometric measures
tensor* curvature = geometric_attention_get_curvature(attn);
tensor* phases = geometric_attention_get_phases(attn);Key components:
-
State Evolution:
dx/dt = -g^{μν}∂_νL // Natural gradient- Follows geodesics on manifold
- Preserves quantum state structure
- Avoids barren plateaus
-
Stability Analysis:
dV/dt ≤ -λ₁||∇V||² + λ₂V // Lyapunov function- Ensures convergence
- Bounds error growth
- Maintains coherence
-
Error Mitigation:
E = O(ε²) vs O(ε) standard // Quadratic improvement- Geometric phase protection
- Topological error correction
- Quantum error suppression
Our framework uses quantum field theory to protect quantum information:
-
Geometric Protection
// Configure geometric manifold geometric_manifold_t manifold = { .metric_tensor = metric, // Riemannian metric .dimension = dim, // State space dimension .is_riemann = true // Curved geometry }; // Create geometric connection geometric_connection_t connection; qg_geometric_compute_christoffel_symbols(&manifold, &connection); // Compute curvature tensor geometric_curvature_t curvature; qg_geometric_compute_riemann_tensor(&connection, &curvature);
- Manifold structure protects states
- Connection guides evolution
- Curvature detects errors
-
Quantum Evolution
// Evolve state geometrically qg_quantum_geometric_evolution(state, &manifold, dt); // Transport along path qg_quantum_geometric_parallel_transport(state, &connection, path, points); // Compute holonomy qg_quantum_geometric_holonomy(initial, &connection, loop, points, final);
- Natural evolution on manifold
- Parallel transport preserves information
- Holonomies detect errors
-

.field_strength = FIELD_STRENGTH,
.gauge_group = true
};
// Set Minkowski metric
for (size_t i = 0; i < SPACETIME_DIMS; i++) {
geom.metric[i * SPACETIME_DIMS + i] = (i == 0) ? -1.0 : 1.0;
}
// Create Gaussian wave packet
for (size_t x = 0; x < LATTICE_SIZE; x++) {
double r2 = (x - center) * (x - center);
field->field_tensor->data[x] = exp(-r2/(2.0*LATTICE_SIZE));
}
// Apply SU(2) gauge transformation
double theta = M_PI / 4;
transformation->data[0] = cos(theta) + 0.0*I;
transformation->data[1] = -sin(theta) + 0.0*I;
transformation->data[2] = sin(theta) + 0.0*I;
