Dreaming and en-visioning can be seen as roughly the same things. At the moment I am trying to dream in, imagine and picture a new modality for molecular quantum bits. Instead of starting from what is already operational I aim for a blank canvas, nothing ruled out from the get-go.
I am loading my head with a wide range of research papers to reactivate some of the capacity. I am not trying to “get” the full meaning of them, besides in some cases my maths is way too poor. What I can do is picture the experimental configurations in terms of lasers, optics, pumps and molecules. I “see” molecular symmetry and can visualize potential energy surfaces. I can animate in the mind’s eye molecular vibrations and wave packet trajectory.
This is a form of actively conscious dreaming, arguably.
I am leaving my background intuitional {not currently conscious} processors to work on the input.
Fully aware that what I am trying to do is unlikely, it is not however beyond the realms of possibility.
Because I am under no time pressure nor institutional pressure to perform to metric, I am relaxed and unstressed.
It does not matter if I succeed or not. I’ll speculate that this lack of fretting is beneficial and not detrimental.
So far, I have a few very hazy pictures which are not starting to coalesce yet. One has already vanished as a no go.
I trust my intuition to go far left field and past the constraints of regular reason. If and when it is ready it will pop something partially formulated into mind. Then I will have to check and maybe be calculate.
In the absence of measured reasons “why not to”, the intuition can get on unhindered by “what if” and “but what if”.
I may even get a “science” dream…
Basic ingredients in the frequency domain are, there should be a manageable balance between thermal budget and decoherence. Optical detection is better at shorter wavelength means less detector cooling. High clock rate good. High quantum fidelity is important or massive error correction methodology.
What may be on the cusp of the dream?
