Maxwell equation in geometric algebra formalism with equally weighted basic solutions is subjected to continuously acting Clifford translation. The received states, operators acting on observables, are analyzed with different values of the Clifford translation time factor and through the observable measurement results.
Conventional quantum mechanical qubits can be lifted to states as even three dimensional geometric algebra operators that act on observables. The operators may be implemented via the two types of Maxwell equation solution polarizations. Solution of Maxwell equation in geometric algebra formalism gives g-qubits which are exact lifts of conventional qubits. Therefore, it unambiguously reveals actual meaning of complex parameters of qubits of the commonly accepted Hilbert space quantum mechanics and, particularly, directly demonstrates the option of instant nonlocality of states.
Following the B. Hiley belief that unresolved problems of conventional quantum mechanics could be the result of a wrong mathematical structure, an alternative basic structure is suggested. Critical part of the structure is modification of the sense of commonly used terms state, observable, measurement giving them a clear unambiguous definition. This concrete definition, along with using of variable complex plane, is quite natural in geometric algebra terms. It helps to establish a feasible language for the area of quantum computing. The suggested approach is used then in the fiber optics quantum information processing scenario.
Even though it has been almost a century since quantum mechanics planted roots, the field has its share of unresolved problems. It could be the result of a wrong mathematical structure providing inadequate understanding of the quantum phenomena.
When quantum mechanical qubits as elements of two dimensional complex Hilbert space are generalized to elements of even subalgebra of geometric algebra over three dimensional Euclidian space, geometrically formal complex plane becomes explicitly defined as an arbitrary, variable plane in 3D. The result is that the quantum state definition and evolution receive more detailed description, including clear calculations of geometric phase, with important consequences for topological quantum computing.
