Abstract Title

Black Hole Thermodynamics as Inspiration for Energy-Efficient Quantum Information Processing: A Conceptual Perspective Quantum computing has become one of the most promising technologies for solving computational problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical computing. Significant progress has been achieved in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, and error-correction techniques over the past decade. Nevertheless, developing scalable and energy-efficient quantum information processing remains one of the major challenges in realizing practical quantum computing. While current research has primarily focused on improving computational performance and hardware reliability, less attention has been given to exploring naturally occurring physical systems that have long existed in nature as potential sources of inspiration for future quantum computing principles. This paper presents a conceptual perspective on how black hole thermodynamics may serve as a source of inspiration for future energy-efficient quantum information processing. Rather than suggesting that black holes should be directly implemented as computational systems, this work on the other hand, explores the possibility that the fundamental relationship between information, entropy, and energy observed in black hole thermodynamics may offer valuable insights into the physical limits of information processing. Concepts such as black hole entropy, Hawking radiation, quantum thermodynamics, and Landauer's principle are discussed to illustrate how extreme physical systems may inspire new ways of thinking about computational efficiency and energy dissipation. The purpose of this work is not to introduce a new quantum computing architecture, but to encourage an interdisciplinary perspective that connects gravitational physics with quantum information science. By considering black hole thermodynamics as a conceptual source of inspiration rather than a direct implementation, this paper aims to stimulate further discussion on whether fundamental physical principles can guide the development of future quantum technologies. It is hoped that this perspective will encourage further theoretical and experimental investigations at the intersection of quantum computing, thermodynamics, and information theory, ultimately contributing to the development of more energy-efficient approaches to quantum information processing.
