Quantum Maze Interfaces: from Photonic Storage to Bio‑Fuel Reactors

Quantum Maze Interfaces are micro‑patterned topologies that bridge wave‑interference behavior and macroscopic energy, heat, and chemical fluxes. A single maze geometry—defined by connectivity (K), path‑length spread (ΔL), and boundary non‑orientability (e.g., Möbius/non‑orientable (projective‑plane/cross‑cap))—is engineered to do two things at once: (i) preserve near‑field phase structure long enough for boundary‑driven interference, and (ii) deliberately harvest the same wave energy into useful dissipation channels (heat, charge, chemistry). We describe three buildable platforms and their key performance indicators (KPIs): (A) Maze‑Photonic storage that arrests light in λ/2 grooves with optional δV bias to shape effective index; (B) Maze‑Cool phonon routing that spreads chip hotspots via looped pathways, targeting ΔT reductions of 10–35 °C under matched load; and (C) Bio‑Maze microreactors that couple photonic dwell to H₂/CO₂ conversion in inoculated flow cells. A non‑orientable (projective‑plane/cross‑cap) optic provides an ER=EPR‑inspired operational test of “shadow duplication” without duplicate sources. We publish a CAD→Simulation→Bench workflow, falsifiers, and an artefact budget, and position these methods as a companion to the Transition Law (theory‑first) that formalizes the topology lever and the Spin→Signal→Gate→Tempo architecture.
