Abstract

The scaling of quantum information processors is currently bottlenecked by the “isolationist” paradigm, which treats environmental decoherence as an irreversible entropy increase that must be suppressed. This manuscript proposes a radical engineering shift grounded in the Superdeterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics, where “random” measurement outcomes are viewed as epistemic limitations arising from a deterministic, computationally irreducible substrate. By modeling the environment not as a heat bath but as a correlated memory register, we demonstrate that what is conventionally discarded as noise contains recoverable information. We introduce a “Spectroscopic Qubit” architecture and a machine-learning-driven decoding protocol capable of extracting this hidden signal. Simulations of a superdeterministic toy model show a 92% prediction accuracy for “random” errors and a positive information backflow ($\mathcal{N} \approx 0.232$), validating the detection protocol. We define a new “Correlation Utility Index” (CUI) to standardize the measurement of recoverable non-Markovian resources and provide a detailed latency budget for real-time implementation. This work reframes the path to fault tolerance from a battle against ontology to a challenge of decryption.
