论文摘要
我们报告了第一个概念验证系统，该系统演示了如何通过心理活动来控制量子。我们开发了一种编码心理活动的神经相关性作为量子计算机的指示的方法。检测到使用放置在人头皮上的电极检测到大脑信号，他们学习了如何产生所需的心理活动以发出指令以旋转和测量量子。当前，我们的概念验证验证在量子计算机的软件模拟上运行。在撰写本文时，可用的量子计算硬件和大脑活动传感技术的开发不足以实时控制大脑的量子状态。但是，随着两个方面的硬件技术在未来的及时可用时，我们距离大脑将大脑与实际量子机进行连接更近一步。本文以讨论一些具有挑战性的问题的讨论结束，这些问题需要解决，然后我们才能将大脑与量子硬件连接在一起。
We report on the first proof-of-concept system demonstrating how one can control a qubit with mental activity. We developed a method to encode neural correlates of mental activity as instructions for a quantum computer. Brain signals are detected utilizing electrodes placed on the scalp of a person, who learns how to produce the required mental activity to issue instructions to rotate and measure a qubit. Currently, our proof-of-concept runs on a software simulation of a quantum computer. At the time of writing, available quantum computing hardware and brain activity sensing technology are not sufficiently developed for real-time control of quantum states with the brain. But we are one step closer to interfacing the brain with real quantum machines, as improvements in hardware technology at both fronts become available in time to come. The paper ends with a discussion on some of the challenging problems that need to be addressed before we can interface the brain with quantum hardware.
