The Planar Bottleneck

As heterogeneous quantum computing nodes scale, traditional 2D planar interconnect layouts hit a physics ceiling. Inter-channel microwave cross-talk, heavy dielectric insertion loss (S21), and parasitic electromagnetic field coupling disrupt fragile qubits at the crucial microwave-to-optical transduction interface.

The SSEK Topology

The Self-Shielded Electromagnetic Knot (SSEK) routes signal channels along a double-nested helical coordinate matrix. The self-canceling geometry traps the internal electromagnetic field, delivering passive, math-driven shielding that enables sub-100µm pitch without massive, lossy physical metal walls.
