- Title
Leveraging the Double-Slit Experiment to Explore New Horizons in Quantum Computation.

- Abstract
In looking at possible alternative trajectories of quantum computation it is important to revisit the famous double-slit experiment that launched inquiry into the quantum realm and arguably bootstrapped the birth of the quantum age. In the doubleslit experiment the behavior of light epitomized by dual wave-particle dynamics can be seen from both a bottom-up and top-down perspective. If viewed from the bottom-up it gives rise to the classical interpretation of superposition and entanglement, primary pillars of modern day quantum computation. If viewed from the top-down, however, photons in the double-slit experiment may also be viewed as correlated with "functional" properties of light giving rise to a different interpretation of superposition and entanglement and proposing different trajectories of quantum computing development. By taking several observer views in the double-slit experiment there are several distinct quantum computational trajectories that can arise. This brief overview paper will relate today's rendition of quantum computation with one such observer perspective and highlight several other observer perspectives leading to possible different ways to grapple with the quantum realm and different potential quantum computational architectures to realize this.
