Quantum Symphony Pro

[Heberto Calderon]

Weare all familiar with music, but what if we want to construct a quantum music box? Then, all its components should obey the laws of quantum mechanics which, as you will see, are both very strange and useful.

What if we want to introduce more quantum notes? How can we construct a quantum-chord? Well, we can start playing with more than one qubit! Taking only two qubits, we can obtain a superposition of four notes, labelling do> with 00>, re> with 01>, mi> with 10> and fa> with 11>. With 3 qubits we can have all heptatonic quantum scale:

Other big computing multinational companies have also answered the quantum computing call. Google started with few-qubit quantum processors, and in March 2018 they announced a 72-qubit device. Microsoft is developing a quantum computer powered by a very special type of qubit, topological qubits; Nokia Bell Labs is pursuing the same strategy. Intel is building quantum chips currently being tested by QuTech group at Delft, the latest one a 49-qubit processor. Chinese tech giants have joined the race too: Alibaba has made an 11-qubit device, while Baidu is investing in its own quantum computing institute.

New companies are also betting on quantum computing. Rigetti was born as a startup from Y Combinator, and has raised USD$70 million from private investors: they have a 19-qubit device, which can be used on the cloud. Quantum Circuits Inc is also developing a superconducting quantum processor. Other new companies are betting for other kind of qubits than the superconducting qubits: IonQ is developing a quantum computer using ion qubits, Silicon Quantum Computing is developing a silicon based quantum integrated circuit and Xanadu a quantum photonic processor.

Besides quantum instruments, we need quantum composers and players: what kind of problems can we run on a quantum computer? How do we program and run these devices? Who can discover and develop algorithms? To answer these kind of questions, consulting, software and enabling technologies companies are emerging: Entanglement Partners and H-bar Quantum Consultants, both founders of QWA, are good examples. Major startups in the software space include 1Qbit, Zapata Computing and QxBranch. Early stage startups include Q-Ctrl, ProteinQure, Entropica Labs, Horizon Quantum, and the list is growing day by day!

Review Summary Sound Greater silence, dimension and delineation; "every stringed instrument from violin to guitar to piano loses a coating of "fuzz" that was on every note"; video images improved too, even cable TV and VHS tapes. Features Quantum Resonance Technology to treat your entire power system and thus all audio and video systems you have. Use Just plug in to a free outlet -- no equipment gets connected to the Symphony; Doug found two Symphonies to be just about twice as effective as one, but simple systems may be fine with a single unit. Value Cost what traditional, lower-end PLCs do, but "music and movies just aren’t right without them." OK audiobuddies, what we have here is the kind of high-end audio product that makes a certain group of you guys go absolutely bananas -- but not in a good way. You see, the Quantum Products Symphony is a product that does something that’s impossible given the constraints of classical physics and what the average or even above-average audio technologist believes is the complete body of knowledge about AC power. The group that goes (bad) nuts over products like the Quantum Products Symphony does so because there is no support for the manufacturer’s claims. Nobody (to my knowledge anyway) has written about what affects audio signals outside of the realm of classical physics and outside classical AC-power theory. For purposes of this discussion, classical physics is defined as physics based on the electron/proton/neutron model of atoms and what we have come to accept as factual based on that model. Classical AC-power theory presumes that there is no net electron flow when AC power or signals "move" through a cable/cord/wire.

The vast majority of audiophiles have had no training in physics beyond the classical model, so there is a big void out there when it comes to understanding the physics of audio beyond the classical model. One problem audiophiles have is assuming that classical physics and classical AC-power theory explain all there is to know about audio and AC power/signals. I keep looking for books that somehow tie more modern physics to audio, but I continue to come up with nothing. If one of you out there reading this happens to be a quantum physicist and audiophile, please write a book about how quantum physics and audio relate (or don’t relate). We’re waiting! Specifically, quantum electrodynamics would probably offer explanations for many audio-related issues that are "impossible" but audible.

Nonetheless, Quantum Products has forged ahead in spite of the absence of any directly supporting documentation and has developed a product that they believe applies quantum principles to high-end audio. Without any documentation of how audio might benefit from the application of quantum physics or quantum electrodynamics to solving known or unknown audio problems, I can’t tell you whether Quantum Products’s PLC is applying sound scientific principles or not. The best I’ll be able to do is tell you what the manufacturer claims and what I hear. You’ll have to use that information as you see fit.

A physical description of the Quantum Products Symphony is probably in order first. There are two pieces: a petite wall-wart power supply and the small Symphony "box," which is 5 1/2"W x 5"D x 1 1/2"H. The extruded aluminum Symphony box is finished in black. On the back of the Symphony is a connector for the plug from the wall-wart power supply and nothing else. On the front panel there is only a power LED. The Symphony is on all the time when it is plugged in. You don’t connect any of your audio components to the Symphony in any way.

Looking inside the Symphony box you find a single high-quality circuit board populated with perhaps a dozen inexpensive electronic components. Most of the real estate on the board is empty. What the Symphony does relies on the parts inside, but the parts inside don’t represent all of what Quantum Products is selling. Quantum Products is selling Quantum Resonance Technology (QRT); this is what those components inside the box are claimed to do to the electricity in and around your home. The components inside the Symphony box would not produce the QRT effect without being "treated" by Quantum Products. The Symphony "box" is just a carrier for QRT. Quantum Products could have gone into the PLC business, placing the Symphony hardware inside the PLC and selling it for $800 to $2000. But they went another way -- supply something that can reliably deliver the QRT effect and keep the price low enough that it isn’t a great burden for consumers.

We employ principles of physics and quantum theory to approach the problem of electromagnetic noise. The [QRT] technology utilizes an electromagnetic material processing method to influence the conductive behavior of electrons within electrical conductors. This process neutralizes a fundamental disorder in material structures at the subatomic level by exposing them to a "sustained resonance" of a high degree of order. "Sustained resonance" means that structures vibrate at a frequency natural to them. As a result, the efficiency and performance of the material structures increase and thereby alleviate negative side effects.

In the case of electricity, this "proprietary" technology makes coherent the random, chaotic motion of the electrons. Once made coherent, the electrons remain that way. As a result they do not become subject to random field effects such as radiated or induced EMFs, and can also sustain the flow of information at the quantum level.

It is [hypothesized] that a synergism of interaction between the atoms of the house wiring (and of connected electrical devices) and the electrons in the current stream flowing through them takes place. This should lead to fewer inelastic scattering events for the electrons and thus less emission of helical electromagnetic photons and greater fidelity of the information carried by the electron current.

In other words, certain laws of quantum mechanics predict that if the coherent electrons come into contact with the incoherent electrons in home electricity, those incoming electrons will behave coherently also. Within a few minutes, all of the electrons in your home will exhibit the coherent behavior of the electrons in the Symphony's circuitry. This coherent behavior lowers the noise floor of the electricity, and thus the noise floor of your audio/video system.

Translation: you plug one or two Symphonies into your wall. Because of the treatment applied to the Symphony circuit, the components in the Symphony induce a change in the behavior of electrons in the wiring in your home. The effect is "conducted" throughout local wiring, including all the wiring that supplies power to your audio or video components -- even the wiring inside your audio components themselves. This effect eliminates "electron noise" and makes the AC less susceptible to having external noise sources re-introduce various forms of noise to the AC lines. This sounds impossible or at least improbable if you consider only classical physics. There are, according to Quantum Products, quantum mechanical properties of atoms and specifically of electrons that permit a product like the Symphony to act on electrons to produce the results you get. As we will soon see, there are indeed audible and visible results from using the Symphony in your music and home-theater systems.

Quantum Products’s description of what they do to the Symphony components sounds an awful lot like applying a very strong magnetic field to the circuit board. Equipment exists to do that very thing -- to generate very strong, very focused magnetic fields. You can vary the field strength, you can vary the field "shape" (sine, sawtooth, square, etc.) and you can vary the frequency of the field "shape." You can also reverse the poles of the field at various frequencies. Of course, the existence of this kind of equipment does not prove Quantum Products’s claims for how the Symphony works. It only offers a possible insight to what’s behind the curtain.
