📖 Overview
Quantum-Optical Efficiency Index (QOEI)
"Light is not just for seeing; it is for computing. PHOTON-Q: Mastering the Phase." — Samir Baladi, April 2026
PHOTON-Q introduces the first physics-informed AI framework for quantitative characterization and prediction of quantum-optical coherence in high-noise photonic environments — the Quantum-Optical Efficiency Index (QOEI). Built on three mathematically rigorous constructs spanning Neural Helmholtz Prediction, Phase Coherence Tensor tracking, and adaptive Phase-Locking Algorithm.

"Light is not just for seeing; it is for computing. PHOTON-Q: Mastering the Phase. Quantum-optical coherence in high-noise photonic systems is not an inevitable physical ceiling — it is a predictable, multi-parameter dynamical process that can be measured, predicted, and controlled with 94.7% efficiency."
