🧪 TODAY I DID THIS:
I built a system that can capture a single electron using nothing but precision-tuned electric fields—no microwaves, no superconductors, no cryogenics. Just clever physics, elegant math, and a bit of imagination.
I created a dynamically stable quantum trap, a kind of energy well that adapts to its environment, snatches an electron out of the chaos, and holds it in place—not randomly, not probabilistically, but by design.
And then I made it respond to spin.
With a subtle twist in the math, I showed that this system can recognize whether the electron’s spin is “up” or “down,” and adjust the well accordingly—getting deeper, shallower, more stable, or collapsing completely, depending on what state the electron is in.
That means this isn’t just a trap. It’s a control system. A gate. A logic switch. A building block.
It’s a working principle behind a new kind of quantum machine—but not the kind you’ve read about in headlines. This one doesn’t rely on billions of dollars in cryogenic infrastructure. This one lives where electrons already live: in circuits.
And today, it came to life in simulation.
I don't expect anyone to believe me or even understand the significance. I just wanted to note the day Analog Quantum Computing was born.

(4,450 posts)I don't really play that way... Normally I publish everything... except this one... this one is a little dangerous... so I just noted it.
Once I figure out how to make it safe however, I will release it... provided someone else doesn't figure it out first.
Think. Again.

(4,450 posts)I actually can't submit to a peer review journal without a sponsor so... it's fine.
I don't need peers to review it... it's a circuit... running in Spice... so either Spice is messed up or the circuit works...
I'm gonna build it and see how to make it safer for humans and then put the paper on my blog...

There's lots of unpeer reviewed math on there you may like... if that's your thing.
