Proof of Work

Quantum Transport
Simulation Confirmed

The SWCNT@MWCNT photonic-ternary device was rigorously simulated using non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) quantum transport on Debian 13, AMD EPYC 9334.

Every claim about trit encoding, current symmetry, and signal-to-noise ratio is backed by reproducible quantum transport simulation data.

Why AC, Not DC: The Transmission Line Paradigm

The SWCNT is a transmission line, not a resistive switch. AC gives you three states for free. Why the paradigm follows from abandoning DC thinking.
