maniTLab introduces a complete photonic-ternary computing system — from a NEGF-simulated carbon nanotube device to a fully compiled microkernel operating system. Twelve patents covering every layer of the stack, filed with the Indian Patent Office.
From a photonic nanotube device to a running operating system — every layer of the ternary computing stack is patented, implemented, and verified. A seventh layer extends the same device into the quantum regime.
The same two-nanotube device operating as a native three-level quantum unit when cooled
Balanced ternary programming language, compiler, and microkernel operating system — compiled and running
Ternary cryptographic primitives, design-for-test, and built-in self-test
Fabric management, memory bus, interconnect architecture, and hardware trit-trie search
PANINI processor architecture, T3ISA instruction set, and execution pipeline
Optical-ternary gate library and KCL-based arithmetic engine
Double-walled carbon nanotube switching device. Simulation-confirmed. Room temperature.
Four further patents are not layers but capabilities built across them — how the devices are integrated, how they talk to the binary world, what they accelerate, and how they stay correct.
Vertical nanotube interconnects address devices and carry heat out of the array at the same time, so density does not buy a thermal ceiling.
Bidirectional translation to conventional binary buses. Ternary compute can be adopted incrementally, inside infrastructure that already exists.
Neural networks quantised to {+1, 0, −1} already run everywhere on binary hardware that emulates them. This hardware is natively ternary.
The arithmetic that costs the most in binary error correction — finite-field multiplication — costs nothing here. It is wiring, not gates.
Twelve complete specifications covering every layer of the photonic-ternary computing stack, filed with the Indian Patent Office in 2026. Simulation-verified device physics.
A novel carbon nanotube switching device encoding three computational states using photonic inputs. Quantum transport simulation-confirmed. Room temperature operation.
Complete optical-ternary standard cell library and KCL-based arithmetic engine. Gates operate on photonic trit signals.
Processor architecture, balanced ternary instruction set (T3ISA), and execution pipeline for photonic-ternary hardware.
Fabric management hardware, memory bus architecture, interconnect, and hardware trit-trie circuit for efficient ternary search.
Cryptographic hardware primitives for balanced ternary, design-for-test infrastructure, and built-in self-test circuits.
Balanced ternary programming language, dual-target compiler (LLVM + T3ISA), and photonic-ternary microkernel operating system. Compiled and executed.
Three-dimensional device array whose vertical carbon nanotube interconnects serve as addressing paths and thermal-conduction paths at once. No area spent on dedicated thermal vias.
A device variant with no electrical contacts at all. Three photonic inputs replace every electrode, bonding pad, and wiring rail; trit direction is set optically.
Bidirectional translation between trit streams and binary buses — the migration path that lets ternary compute sit inside existing binary infrastructure.
Multiply-accumulate without a multiplier. Weights from {+1, 0, −1} are stored as ferroelectric polarisation; a zero weight leaves the device dark, so sparsity costs no energy.
Finite-field arithmetic as wiring rather than active devices: multiply by 1 is a wire, negation is a wire crossing. Hamming, Reed-Solomon and LDPC built on top.
One unmodified two-nanotube structure with three temperature-selected regimes — classical ternary switch when warm, quantum qutrit when cold. One process, both worlds.
The THATTE photonic-ternary device was rigorously simulated using non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) quantum transport methods. Three distinct computational states are confirmed at digital-grade signal-to-noise ratio with perfect current symmetry.
Every claim about trit encoding and switching behaviour is backed by reproducible quantum transport simulation data. Full simulation data is available to qualified partners under mutual NDA.
Research notes, experiment findings, and technical deep-dives on balanced ternary computing.
Differential power analysis breaks cryptographic hardware by correlating power consumption with secret data. In balanced ternary, trit +1 and trit −1 are power-identical. The attack surface does not exist.
Twelve patents, one coherent system. From two carbon nanotubes to a running balanced ternary operating system — what the THATTE stack is, why balanced ternary, and what it means to design from device physics to OS.
Simulation data, quantum transport results, fabrication specifications, and complete patent claims are shared under mutual NDA only.
