Quantum Nanotube Lattice Optics

Repository: qnt-lattice-optics

Overview

This repository contains the open research and patent-ready design materials for a quantum nanotube-based architecture capable of acting as a photonic repeater and distributed quantum sensor. It leverages: - Vertically-aligned carbon nanotube arrays - Encapsulated noble gases - Metallic or catalytic coatings (e.g., Pt) - Diffraction-based ensemble readouts - Phonon-photon interactions for signal modulation - Room-temperature quantum operations - Acoustic isolation via polymer matrix engineering

Our goal is to provide an open scientific framework for next-generation quantum communication infrastructure that is: - Decentralized by design - Passive and solid-state - Scalable to large array sizes - Sensitive to quantum and environmental fields - Operable at room temperature without cryogenic requirements - Resilient against common decoherence mechanisms
