Autonomous Quantum Error Correction via Recursive Topological Feedback: The QSRA Architecture

This white paper introduces the Quantum Self-Referential Architecture (QSRA), a disruptive engineering framework designed to bypass the critical physical qubit overhead bottlenecks inherent in standard Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC) paradigms, such as the Surface Code. Moving away from latency-heavy, external classical syndrome decoding loops, QSRA establishes an autonomous quantum state stabilization mechanism embedded directly within the register's network topology. By engineering high-density topological entanglement connectivity (C(N)) coupled with continuous, recursive intra-circuit feedback loops (ρ (N)), the system induces a non-linear phase transition governed by the analytical boundary condition ρ(N) ⋅ C(N) ≥ θ .Crossing this constitutive threshold triggers the simultaneous emergence of localized causal asymmetry (T(N)) and autonomous integrated information (ϕ(N).> 0), creating a self-reinforcing decoherence shield that structurally isolates the register from external environmental noise. This document outlines a rigorous, three-phase experimental implementation protocol—ranging from in silico tensor network emulations to in vivo superconducting hardware deployment—offering a highly scalable, low-overhead blueprint for next-generation quantum hardware co-design and fault-tolerant architecture optimization.
