Project Chandelier

One of the Chandelier's dilution refrigerators to cool down the quantum processors. The chandelier shape of the refrigerators is how the project got its name.

Project Chandelier is a Janpian Quantum Computer, currently in development by the D-Arithmos Systems Workers' Union, with special support from the Ministry of Industrial Development. The aim of the project is to create a computer capable of directing and controlling the Party's overall economic planning, as well as to develop other synergetic systems to replace certain computers that uses traditional sorting algorithms or computational time complexity. As commonly found in quantum computers, the Project Chandelier employs qubits, which utilizes superposition to make both 1 and 0 exist simultaneously, as compared to bits which can only exist in separate 1 and 0 states.

According to the D-Arithmos Systems Union, Project Chandelier will be capable of assisting the Party's space development endeavors, given that the computer has a faster recall rates for the spacecraft's instruction database. Additionally, the union has also claimed that this will assist in the rapid decryption of public keys, reducing the necessary time from months or weeks to just a few hours, making it potentially beneficial to the Party's cybersecurity measures. The Union has also promised other opportunities in physics and mathematical simulation once the system is operational, although their primary goal as it currently stands is on the economic implications of the system, including the capacity for automated economic decision making.

Origins

Prior to Project Chandelier, the activities of D-Arithmos Systems Workers' Union was primarily focused on participating in artificial intelligence conventions, organizing programmer meet-ups, offering programming solutions, and conducting theoretical scientific computer studies involving quantum physics. In 2014, Urescha Toromii was elected as the Representative of their Workers' Council. Prior to the election, Urescha was a prominent computer programmer, and was the head of the union's study on the computational quantum simulations theorem, as well as quantum machine learning. He is quite interested on the development of a faster computer that requires less complex big-O notation, and was inspired by the algorithmic complexities of SACHI, an artificial system that governs Darlingtown.

Under his leadership, Urescha has pivotted the union’s focus from theoretical studies to practical applications, specifically towards the development of quantum computers. His vision was to develop a system capable of surpassing SACHI's performance, with a larger database and more extensive information processing, ultimately aiming to create a computer that could manage the entire Party and its functions, moving toward algorithmic governance.

In 2015, the first operational Janpian quantum processor was developed by the union known as the DASQ-1 (Dusk-1), a 6 qubit photonic quantum processor, utilized to process the database of the Kalingrad Medical Institute. At that time, the DASQ-1 was a huge leap as compared to normal 6 bits processors, which is capable of processing 64 binary states, albeit in a singular period of time. This is mainly due to how bits can only represent one data at a time, that being 1 or 0, while a qubit can represent both states of it given the idea of superposition. This represents a notable advancement in comparison to 6-bit processing systems in current utilization, which would be forced to individually process each state, allowing a quantum system using this processor to be quicker in a variety of ways than regular systems.

The DASQ-1's public release processor would garner notable media, and scientific, attention, as well as Party and governmental attention - with the state, most especially the Ministry of Industrial Development, beginning to provide support for the development of quantum compute systems. More specifically, the MID would offer a contract to develop means to replace the necessity of the Ministry of Economics and Trade, with the MID providing the necessary funding, resources, and manpower in exchange for a guarantee that such a system would be developed in under 50 years.

This agreement was signed in August 2016, with the official beginning of the project following swiftly. The new system would initially be named the DASQ-2, but due to the hanging of dilution refrigerators on the ceiling for cooling purposes, it would garner the unofficial (and eventually officially adopted) name of Chandelier.

Design

As inherent to the agreement, the Workers' Union of D-Arithmos began working on a project which uses a new form of quantum processors as a computer system, which is aimed to be modular and scalable for future developments. The design will be Circuit-Based and will still use the traditional logic gates to compute and function.

The dilution refrigeration system which the project received its name from creates and maintains a sub-zero temperature environment, with an average temperature of -273.1415 Celsius, or -459.6547 Fahrenheit. This system was developed by the internal cytotechnology department of D-Arithmos, with support from the Ministry of Industrial Development. (TBA)
