A new hope in computation and mind uploading.

Hi,

my name is Roberto Bovolenta, and I’m an
Italian physicist.

I’ve always been passionate about the
neuroscience world, about the great mysteries of human brain and
self-consciousness, and about the new frontiers of neuroengineering.

Particularly, I’m fascinated by the subject of
mind uploading, since I believe that it might lead in the near future to what
will be the next step in the path of human evolution.

Now, as we all know, mind uploading will
requires very powerful computers, extremely higher than current computers, and exactly
for this reason I decided to let you know an interesting opportunity in that
field.

In summer 2010, Professor Seth Lloyd, of
Boston’s MIT, with his team, published a research that analyzed the singular
phenomenon of quantum post-selected teleportation.

In summary, they hypothesized the existence of
“closed timelike curves” (or CTC), generated by quantum teleportation, which they
could be applied to computation, with the amazing effect to reset the time
resource of calculation (or, in other words, to perform unlimited operations in
0 seconds).

Here you can find the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.2615 .

 

In April 2013, I conceived a
experimental solution to verify the actual existence of CTC by means of 
a quantum continuous-variable post-selected teleportation
technique.

The research was published on arXiv here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.1892 .

 

The peculiarity of this solution is
that, if CTC’s hypothesis was proved, we could use this device to increase indefinitely
the power of a CLASSIC computer (so NOT quantum).

Unfortunately I’ve not the
necessary means to carry out the experiment, and the few people that possess means
and knowledge to do it (including Seth Lloyd himself and Professor Furusawa of
Tokyo University) are difficult to contact and already too busy in other
projects.

Personally, I think that the
existence of CTC is quite unlikely, but even if there was only 0,0001% chance
that the experiment has successful, this would be really a revolution for the
world of computation and, obviously, for the frontiers of neuroscience; and a
big opportunity for the mind uploading project.

You can find a complete explanation
of the experimental proposal at this link:

If you need further clarifications I’m at your
disposal.

Best regards,

Roberto
Bovolenta.
