About R&D BioTech Alaska

R&D BioTech Alaska is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization based in Eagle River, Alaska.

We build scientific software, experimental research systems, public learning resources, and practical prototypes. The work crosses fields on purpose. Quantum information, artificial intelligence, biology, chemistry, physics, materials, hardware, and software are often treated as separate areas even when the useful answer sits between them.

Our main goals are straightforward:

Build systems that solve real technical problems.
Publish enough of the work for other people to inspect and challenge it.
Separate measured results from ideas that are still being tested.
Make advanced science usable outside of large companies and institutions.
Support education, community access, and independent research.
Keep the work local, reproducible, and under human control.

The organization is founded and led by Brenton Carter, a quantitative biologist and quantum systems developer.

Primary research direction

Brain, QELM, and Qubit State Algebra

The largest connected research program at R&D BioTech Alaska is Brain.

Brain grew from QELM, the Quantum-Enhanced Language Model. QELM began as a direct attempt to use quantum channels, trainable circuits, amplitude, phase, sub-bit states, entanglement, and hybrid quantum-classical processing inside a language model.

As the work progressed, the problem became larger than language generation.

A persistent system also needs:

Working, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory.
Continual learning and later consolidation.
Evidence and truth handling.
Model lineage and rollback.
Safety and action boundaries.
Internal coordination.
Distributed temporary computation.
A reliable distinction between an experiment and an accepted improvement.

That larger system became Brain.

Brain then created the need for Qubit State Algebra (QSA).

QSA was built because Brain needed a native quantum-state engine that could run exactly on ordinary CPUs and GPUs, preserve structured states instead of flattening everything into one global statevector, save and restore state, support distributed temporary channels, and remain under direct control of the project.

The relationship is:

QELM
  ↓
quantum-enhanced language, channels, phase, sub-bit states, training
  ↓
Brain
  ↓
memory, learning, evidence, safety, authority, rollback
  ↓
QSA
  ↓
native exact quantum-state execution for Brain and the wider system

Physical quantum hardware can be used where appropriate, but it is not required for the architecture to operate. The system is intentionally quantum-classical:

Quantum-state mathematics
phase · amplitude · interference · entanglement · observables
                         ⇅
Classical computation
memory · control · optimization · storage · training · execution

The goal is not to replace classical computing with quantum computing.

The goal is to let each side do the work it is better at.

Brain remains the controlling system. The surrounding projects provide specialized work without independently owning language, memory, truth, identity, model promotion, or final action authority.


Main projects

Public · Active

QSA is a from-scratch C++20 runtime for exact, structure-aware quantum-state execution on ordinary computers.

It keeps independent parts of a quantum state independent, merges only the components that interact, recovers separability when possible, and uses specialized exact representations when the state has stronger mathematical structure.

Current systems include:

  • geometric Bloch-cell qubits;
  • sparse and dense local components;
  • exact factor and separability recovery;
  • symmetry states;
  • compressed Grover states;
  • stabilizer tableaus;
  • phase-graph states;
  • quantum-dot pockets;
  • compiled plans;
  • QSC checksummed state storage;
  • C++, C, and Python interfaces.

QSA Stars QSA Build

Public · Active

QELM is the original quantum-enhanced language-model framework and the research foundation that led to Brain.

The public implementation includes:

  • token embeddings and next-token learning;
  • trainable quantum attention and feed-forward paths;
  • amplitude and phase features;
  • sub-bit encoding;
  • entanglement and data re-uploading;
  • parameter-shift and SPSA training;
  • local, Aer, and IBM Runtime paths;
  • model files, token maps, trainer, and chat interface.

QELM is not presented as a replacement for modern production LLMs. It is a research architecture built to test whether quantum-state information can participate directly in language processing.

Brain

Private for now · Active

Brain is the central cognitive architecture that grew from QELM.

It is being built around:

  • language and reasoning;
  • persistent memory;
  • continual learning;
  • offline consolidation;
  • evidence and truth handling;
  • canonical behavior preservation;
  • reversible model improvement;
  • QSA-backed quantum-state processing;
  • governed integration of the surrounding systems.

The active repository is private while the source, evaluation material, checkpoints, and release boundaries are prepared.

A previous public Brain concept repository remains available for historical context:

Public · Active

Qubit is the distributed temporary-channel side of the architecture.

A Qubit node may run on a phone, tablet, computer, or server. It receives a bounded state-only job, performs authorized logical quantum work, returns a result and evidence, then resets or destroys its temporary state.

The design intentionally prevents nodes from owning or retaining:

  • user information;
  • conversation history;
  • permanent model memory;
  • private documents;
  • independent Brain identity;
  • model-promotion authority.

Active private research

These repositories exist and are under active development. They remain private for now while implementation, validation, documentation, and release boundaries are completed.

Project Role
BrainQ Current Brain integration, training, memory, evidence, safety, evaluation, adoption, and rollback
NueralNet Subordinate recurrent, harmonic, Tripair, logical-Neuron, and distributed support fabric
QTorch Structure-aware quantum training, differentiation, compilation, and PyTorch interoperability
QZip Exact structural compression for quantum states, tensors, checkpoints, histories, and Brain archives
Decoder Proposal verification, proof-carrying readout, and controlled decoding without execution authority

Private does not mean inactive.
It means the work is not ready to be represented publicly as a finished release.


Measured results

We separate measured results from architecture plans and untested hypotheses.

QSA validation and structured-state results

Measurement Result
Independent differential validation 14,400 randomized gate operations passed
Global-phase-invariant fidelity tolerance 2 × 10⁻¹⁰
Independent product register 10,000 qubits in 1.03 MiB
Independent Bell pairs 100 pairs in 25.88 KiB
Exact GHZ state 50 qubits in 5.60 KiB
Compressed 16-qubit Grover path 160,665.80× faster than the dense exact path
20-qubit symmetry fast-forward 130,750.18× faster than dense
Disconnected SWAP across dense 12-qubit components approximately 745,000× faster
18-qubit, 800-gate stabilizer workload approximately 1,744× faster

These are exact, workload-specific measurements against the stated dense or ordinary QSA path. They are not one universal multiplier and do not remove the exponential worst case for arbitrary highly entangled states.

Controlled QSA result inside AI

A controlled support experiment used:

An immutable trained parent.
Exact no-op initialization.
The same input channels and residual geometry.
10,945 trainable parameters in each trainable arm.
A parameter-matched conventional control.
Full autoregressive evaluation.
Sealed holdout evaluation.
Protected-parent and native-resource checks.

Evaluation Frozen parent Conventional control Hybrid QSA
Development quality 88.46% 88.46% 89.23%
Sealed holdout quality 88.46% 88.46% 89.23%
Holdout instruction compliance 80.77% 80.77% 84.62%
Holdout max-token termination 3.85% 3.85% 1.54%
Holdout language cross-entropy 4.50917 4.50917 4.50836

This is a bounded positive result. It does not establish universal quantum advantage or prove that every QSA mechanism improves every AI task.

Brain and QELM language development

A later sealed QELM language phase completed 24,576 optimizer steps and produced:

16.52% lower broad cross-entropy
36.43% lower perplexity
+7.4969 percentage points exact-token match
314,442 additional correct development tokens
Improved canonical behavior.
Improved structured safety.
Zero nonfinite events.
Zero forbidden marker collisions.

Native QSA and Tripair were disabled during that phase, so these results demonstrate QELM and Brain language-development progress rather than quantum attribution.

QZip verified compression results

QZip is private for now, but verified exact round-trip results include:

Workload QZip 7-Zip Result
QSC state family 342,712 B 549,659 B 37.7% smaller than 7-Zip
Related checkpoint family 2,098,392 B 2,099,735 B Narrow QZip win
Canterbury corpus 425,441 B 483,667 B 58,226 B smaller
Silesia six-file pilot 14,859,541 B 15,716,478 B 856,937 B smaller

Each accepted comparison used integrity testing, extraction, and byte-for-byte verification. Compression speed remains a known weakness, and highly structured experimental fixtures are reported separately from ordinary-file corpus results.

Research principles

Our project descriptions are intentionally specific about what has and has not been established.

**Measured results, implemented architecture, informed inference, and untested hypotheses are kept separate.**
**Exact and approximate methods are labeled separately.**
**Structured-state gains are not generalized to arbitrary states.**
**Physical QPUs, exact classical quantum-state execution, and quantum-inspired methods are not treated as interchangeable.**
**A passing workflow is infrastructure evidence, not automatically a capability gain.**
**AI controls should match active trainable capacity, data, evaluation, and budget wherever possible.**
**New Brain mechanisms begin at exact no-op when the architecture allows it.**
**Accepted checkpoints remain recoverable and protected.**
**Negative, neutral, and failed experiments remain part of the evidence record.**
**Privacy is part of the architecture, especially for distributed nodes.**
**Claims follow the actual test, not the intended outcome.**

Different repositories use different licenses. Check each repository before use, modification, redistribution, or commercial deployment.
