This invention describes a machine designed to evaluate whether devices that manipulate tiny particles, such as those proposed for quantum computers, can actually function. It works by generating a beam of these microscopic particles, guiding them through a narrow path, and then detecting them. The machine then uses a special mathematical function, called a statistical wave function, to analyze the collected data and determine the feasibility of the particle-handling device.
Why it matters: Filed when quantum computing was largely theoretical, significant advancements in nanotechnology and experimental quantum physics since 2006 make building such a particle-beam evaluation apparatus more feasible. The increased global investment in quantum computing also makes an apparatus for evaluating its fundamental feasibility more critical now.
