- The idea is to achieve manipulation of state Vector of one particle that have 2^n qunatom states instead of using n qubits each 2 state
It's very hard to entangle many particles and keep them entangled, especially at room temperature. So I had an idea: instead of using many particles, what if we use just one — like a photon — and split its path many times?
Each time the photon hits a splitter, its path is divided. We make sure that both possible paths from each splitter go to the next splitter. This way, the photon’s wave function ends up being spread across many paths — all possible combinations of the split routes.
If we set the lengths of each path so that every possible combination gives a unique total travel time, then when we measure the time the photon arrives, we can figure out exactly which path it took. Since there are 2^n paths (n being the number of splitters), we can create 2^n unique arrival times to represent each possible path. Then we can manipulate the state of the photon to make calculations
