We disclose transconductor-capacitor classical dynamical systems that emulate quantum dynamical systems and quantum-inspired systems by composing them with 1) a real capacitor, whose value exactly emulates the value of the quantum constant ℏ termed a Planck capacitor; 2) a ‘quantum admittance’ element, which has no classical equivalent, but which can be emulated by approximately 18 transistors of a coupled transconductor system; 3) an emulated ‘quantum transadmittance element’ that can couple emulated quantum admittances to each other; and 4) an emulated ‘quantum transadmittance mixer element’ that can couple quantum admittances to each other under the control of an input. We describe how these parts may be composed together to emulate arbitrary two-state and discrete-state quantum or quantum-inspired systems including stochastics, state preparation, probability computations, state amplification, state attenuation, control, dynamics, and loss compensation.
A circuit comprised of:
A classical circuit for computing signal variables that are monotonic functions of either the peak, absolute, or squared-signal amplitude deviation from a reference of either or both of the real or imaginary probability-amplitude voltage variables of an emulated quantum-admittance circuit, both of whose outputs are connected to CHBAR capacitors.
