DQC
A research simulation exploring whether wave phenomena (like double-slit interference) emerge from purely integer physics with no floating point.
DQC (Discrete Quantum Computing) is a physics simulation that runs entirely in integer / fixed-point arithmetic on a 128³ toroidal lattice — no floating point — with gauge / “Maxwell-lite” dynamics and no-signalling guardrails.
The headline experiment reproduces the double-slit experiment: single-slit profiles (L, R) are smooth envelopes, while “both slits” (B) shows clear fringes. The interference term B − (L+R) alternates regularly in sign — the signature of genuine interference, not just “more light in the middle.”
It is built for reproducibility: sweeps over drive frequency (fringe count), triple B/L/R comparison runs, and saved intensity fields — a compute-saving harness for exploring emergent quantum-like behaviour from discrete rules.
Highlights
- Integer / fixed-point physics on a 128³ lattice (no floating point)
- Gauge / Maxwell-lite field dynamics with no-signalling guardrails
- Reproduces double-slit interference; the B−(L+R) term alternates in sign
- Compute-saving sweep + triple-compare harness for reproducibility
