The open library

Research, in the open.

Everything the lab publishes, in full. Confirmations and failures alike — a result that did not replicate is part of the record, not an omission from it.

    The Exponent Is the Price: Quantum Tunneling and the Architecture of Wireless Electric Grids

    The phrase "wireless power transfer by quantum tunneling" is, read literally, a category error. Single-particle electron tunneling through a vacuum or dielectric barrier is suppressed as e−2κd with κ=2m∗Φ/ℏ≈10 nm−1 for a metal–vacuum–metal junction. Deliv…

    Multiplication Without Transistors: An Audit of Photonic Matrix Processors as Accelerators for Large Language Model Training

    Matrix multiplication accounts for the overwhelming majority of arithmetic operations — and a dominant share of energy expenditure — in training large language models (LLMs). Photonic processors perform matrix–vector multiplication (MVM) as a passive consequence of light propaga…
