2006 — 2027+
The Journey
Twenty years from a carbon nanotube insight in 2006 to a complete photonic-ternary computing patent portfolio filed at the Indian Patent Office in 2026. One inventor. Twelve patents. A full stack.
While studying carbon nanotube properties, Manish Jagdish Thatte discovers that metallic carbon nanotubes exhibit three stable conducting states. Documents the core concept of using SWCNT@MWCNT devices with photonic trit encoding for balanced ternary logic.
ConceptionCore invention concept documented in a notarized affidavit, later certified by CIVEN (Italy). Establishes the prior art date for the unified molecular fabrication method described in Patent Thatte1.
Priority DateContinuous refinement of the balanced ternary computing concept. Study of carbon nanotube fabrication advances worldwide — IBM, Stanford, and TSMC demonstrations. Development of the theoretical framework spanning device physics through operating system design.
R&DFormal design of the complete photonic-ternary computing stack: SWCNT@MWCNT device, photonic switching method, gate library, processor architecture, compiler, operating system, memory, and security. Six interdependent inventions taking shape as a unified system.
DesignNEGF quantum transport simulation of the SWCNT@MWCNT device using Kwant. Photonic trit encoding verified at digital-grade signal-to-noise ratio with perfect current symmetry — all three trit states confirmed. ManiT compiler v0.1.0 built. THATTEOS microkernel compiled to .t3b binaries.
VerifiedSix complete patent specifications filed at the Indian Patent Office. A complete photonic-ternary computing stack from device physics to operating system. Single inventor: Manish Jagdish Thatte.
FiledSix further complete specifications — Thatte7 through Thatte12 — filed at the Indian Patent Office, taking the portfolio to twelve. They cover three-dimensional array integration, a contactless all-photonic device, the binary-ternary bridge, a ternary neural processing unit, error correction over GF(3), and the temperature-modal qutrit device.
FiledInternational filings follow the Indian priority dates, expanding IP protection across the full computing stack.
NextRelease of the ManiT compiler and THATTEOS kernel as open source after patent priority is secured. arXiv preprint submission. Physical device fabrication and laboratory demonstration of photonic-ternary switching using SWCNT@MWCNT. Open licensing program through maniTLab.org.
