This RFP seeks to critically evaluate the role of quantum computing in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The goal is to distinguish between realistic capabilities and hype, providing clear insights into the practical benefits and limitations of quantum computing for AGI architectures, particularly within the OpenCog Hyperon framework. Part of this should involve interacting with the Hyperon team who've built the existing and in-development MeTTa interpreters.

Project details

The investigation will begin with a thorough analysis of quantum computing implementations across major platforms. We will systematically examine gate-based quantum computers from IBM Q and Google Sycamore, quantum annealing systems from D-Wave, and emerging technologies in photonic and trapped-ion quantum computing. This foundation enables understanding of current capabilities and limitations across quantum computing paradigms.

For Hyperon's computational requirements, we conduct deep profiling of the MeTTa interpreter and atomspace operations. This involves analyzing memory usage patterns, parallel processing capabilities, and data transfer bottlenecks. Through comprehensive performance metrics collection, we'll identify specific areas where quantum acceleration could provide meaningful improvements.

In quantum gate computing investigation, we focus on two critical areas: PLN logical operations and pattern matching acceleration. For PLN, we'll analyze quantum circuits for probabilistic inference, leveraging quantum superposition for parallel reasoning and studying entanglement effects on logical dependencies. Pattern matching acceleration research explores quantum parallel search algorithms and quantum associative memory designs, with particular attention to implementation feasibility.

Quantum annealing research centers on MOSES program optimization and ECAN mechanisms. For MOSES, we'll investigate quantum annealing approaches to program space exploration and fitness function evaluation. ECAN optimization focuses on quantum-enhanced attention allocation and energy-based importance updating, with careful consideration of STI/LTI balance requirements.

Hybrid system design represents a crucial bridge between quantum and classical computing. We'll develop detailed interface architectures, including data conversion protocols and state transfer mechanisms. Memory management strategies will be optimized for quantum-classical interaction, with particular attention to error correction and timing synchronization.

Testing methodology employs both theoretical and practical approaches. ZX-calculus provides formal verification of quantum circuit optimizations and interface protocols. Quantum simulation using Qiskit, Cirq, and Q# enables practical validation of theoretical benefits. Specific algorithms under test include Quantum Fourier Transform for pattern recognition, Grover's algorithm for database search, and quantum approximate optimization for resource allocation.

Performance evaluation metrics will track response times, memory utilization, quantum resource requirements, and error rates. This data informs a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis comparing quantum-enhanced operations against classical approaches. Regular validation through expert peer review and community feedback ensures practical relevance of findings.

The investigation culminates in detailed integration planning, including specific architectural recommendations, implementation roadmaps, and resource requirement specifications. This provides SingularityNET with actionable insights for quantum computing integration within the Hyperon framework, supported by rigorous analysis and practical validation.

    The proposal is more like a review of Quantum Computing technology rather than its review as it pertains to AGI.

    The proposal addresses specifics of Hyperon AI processes and how to address them with QC. it is reasonably strong but not so detailed.

    I like how the proposer reflects on specific algos like PLN and MOSES and muses on how to address them using current QC technology. However the treatment of the particulars of QC tech is a little cursory and I would have appreciated a little more depth and insight. But still a quite solid proposal.
