(C)1995 Lee Kent Hempfling All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT: This work is the first in a series of papers that examine the relationships and comparative descriptions required to understand the terminology of the quantum computational procedure as developed by NTC. Since there are many terms used in this process that have generally been used in other situations but are applied in terminology here to describe and mean different things the nature of these articles will be comparative. That is, through examination of events and concepts that are easily understood with comparison drawn to the terminology used in this process it is hoped that the student will be able to ascertain the difference as the terms are used here and grasp the importance of understanding the concepts as they are presented. These works are not for distribution to symposium, work shop or other seminar events as they will not present a complete picture of the work while concentrating on specific aspects of the terminology. #1: THE COHERENCY OF PARTICLE POPULATIONS If you were to stand at your kitchen sink and turn the water on and off in exact amounts of time, separated by exact amounts of time you would be doing the same thing this term relates to. The pipes leading to the spigots is filled with water. The water could be either hot or cold or any temperature in between. But the sink is not aware of the state of the water's temperature until one or both of the faucets are turned on and water is sent into the sink. The pipe leading from the faucet (the drain outlet) is a pathway for the water. Yet it has NO water in it unless you turn on the faucet and allow some to pass through it. The water is comprised of the appropriate amount of hydrogen, and oxygen and the impurities contained within it. Each spigot (hot or cold) will provide an amount of water at the maximum temperature provided by its source. (Let us assume the hot water heater has provided a maximum temperature to the spigot.) Each molecule of water can be considered to be a citizen of the whole population of the water. Some are citizens of hot and some are citizens of cold. Yet when you turn on the faucet you do not allow one citizen to pass through you allow a population of citizens to pass through. If you turn on only one spigot the population will be a similar temperature. But if you turn on both spigots the population that exits the faucet will be a mixture of both water supplies with the temperature coming out of the faucet determined by the amount of one or the other. In this process we assume the hot supply of water to be one temperature. Just like you do when you prepare a shower. You turn on the hot water knowing it will be a certain hotness'. Then you add cold water to it in degrees of pressure to lower the overall temperature of the water you will bath in. That is the hot being stationary and the cold being variable. Just the opposite of electronic circuits. In electronic circuits the cold line (or ground) is stationary and is applied through resistance to the hot or positive source to change the voltage. In this process we establish a voltage and raise and lower the negative or ground side and then mix the two together with the outcome being a variable level of voltage without the negative directly applying resistance to the positive. The resulting outcome of this mixture is termed: A coherent population. When levels of the variable negative reach maximum value there is a direct application of resistance to the positive and there is no expulsion of result populations as both sides cancel out the result. Likewise when there is no value of the negative there is no result population. Coherent; as the particles of the mixture result are expelled from the circuit in one burst. (Just like your turning the faucet on and off in specific increments of duration with a specific increment of non-expulsion in between.) The continuous application of this burst expulsion sets up a wave of momentum of the coherent populations of particles. In your kitchen, the water being released from the faucet in increments of duration is sent down the drain pipe in bursts of water. If you did this many times a second and the drain pipe could handle the water to keep it apart in separate populations it would be the same pattern set up by this process in an circuit. The variations in water temperature would range from hot to luke warm. But in this process when no cold is applied (no negative) there can be no positive so it ranges from off to off with the variation in between representing the values of almost no negative to almost all negative. Conclusion By using the example of the mixture of water supplies we establish the differences in power supplies to the NTC circuit. By using the example of the faucet we establish the process of mixture of the two supplies. By using the example of the spigot of the water supplies we establish the variable nature of an input sensor. By using the example of the drain pipe we establish the process of dedicated pathways for result populations to travel. By using the example of the molecules of water we established the foundation of the definition of the population of particles. By using the example of the different temperatures we establish the value differences of the sources of power to the circuit. By using the example of establishing the stability of the hot water and varying the temperature of your shower we establish the variable values of the negative process used in the NTC method and the stable positive. By using the example of your turning the faucet on and off in specific increments of duration with a specific duration of no value in between we establish the control exercised by the clock mechanism that sets up the wave of computation giving the populations momentum.
