Research and Development at the American Physical Society Global Physics Summit 2026

General Physics was proud to attend the American Physical Society’s annual Global Physics Summit in Denver, Colorado in March 2026. Along with thousands of scientists and support staff, General Physics accelerated fusion ideas, physics concepts, and manufacturing strategy within an innovative A.I. driven scientific marketplace. Pivoting to develop next-generation nuclear reactors, beyond generation IV will require substantial investment in many sectors - academia, industry, and government. This transition requires a holistic approach to the nuclear fuel cycle, ensuring that fuel fabrication and waste management evolve alongside reactor design. Part of our presentation was the idea of a San Onofre National Laboratory, making progress hopefully in parallel to perhaps a dozen new national labs. Such an institution would serve as a coastal hub for maritime-related nuclear research and high-energy density physics. Partnering internationally to accelerate the supply chain, design, simulation, and fabrication technology needed for the fusion economy rounded out the presentation at the Colorado Convention Center. Networking, meeting with international partners over the phone, via email, and with SMS, connecting with colleagues, and showing our firm grasp of scientific reality was central to the cornerstone of General Physics’ approach to the meeting. Our next steps are to contact relevant players in government who can help with the national laboratory projects.

There were talks about space based interceptors, quantum magnetism, atomic computing, A.I., and business. Our specific focus encompassed some quantum mechanics. General Physics’ A.I. and quantum divisions were aligned on practicality. Coherence, integration with classical computers, qubit lifetimes, Hamiltonian transformations, and Q# code, summoned discussion beyond the ordinary. We specifically addressed the "noisy intermediate-scale quantum" (NISQ) era, where error mitigation is more critical than pure qubit count. Our focus on experimentation to augment theory was paramount in the pragmatic approach to quantum science. STM research and discussions involving the programming of qubit states via polynomials helped us flirt with the idea of a difficult yet exciting quantum computing future. Quantum simulations of physical systems require the calibration and encoding of multiple matrix values, states, or inputs, into a qubit that is controlled by some Hamiltonian field. We are hard at work developing robust quantum algorithms, experimental test beds, and practical simulations on these nanoscale devices.

For example, our team demonstrated how Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) can be optimized to simulate the molecular bonding of superconducting materials, potentially reducing the computational overhead by 15% compared to standard iterative methods. We also highlighted the use of topological qubits, which leverage anyons to protect information from environmental decoherence, a vital step toward fault-tolerant computing.

General Physics’ fusion and NBI divisions also presented, with an emphasis on stellarator tokamak hybrids utilizing pixelated magnetics. A combination of the best of all worlds, long confinement time from current drive in the tokamak, stellarator MHD optimization, and plasma shaping plus turbulence mitigation with pixels are our focus. By utilizing advanced conductors (superconductors won’t work due to the ramp up time required) in a modular pixelated array, we can achieve magnetic field strengths exceeding 10 Tesla, which significantly reduces turbulence. We presented well and managed to make a few new friends along the way. What we think is big accurate science will lead to securing loan guarantees and favorable project specific professional liability (PSPL) insurance for ventures with medium risk and high reward. Fusion is the power of the stars and harnessing it on the planet will require a thorough expansion of national laboratories and universities. Unlike fission, fusion produces no long-lived radioactive waste and carries zero risk of a runaway meltdown, making it the ultimate "green" baseload power source. We hope San Onofre National Laboratory can be a paragon of science and physics for advanced experimental projects.

One major contribution was the development of anti-matter plasma physics, perhaps leading to a new Standard Model involving expansions of Yang-Mills and a neutrino free Regge model of superstring gravity without loops. Fractional dimensional curves supplant many Huygen’s spherical wavefronts, introducing a Huygen’s Hilbert space filling curve to satisfy the recursion relation of the wave equation. Valid solutions involving the three body problem were addressed as well, paying homage to the past, yet involving more symmetric modes with perturbation theory to infinite order beyond linearization. 

In our technical sessions, we shared data on "negative triangularity" plasma shapes, which have shown a remarkable ability to suppress ELMs (Edge Localized Modes) that typically erode reactor walls. We also discussed the integration of liquid lithium blankets that not only breed tritium fuel but also act as a self-healing first wall against the intense 14.1 MeV neutron flux inherent in D-T fusion reactions. 

Denver provided a friendly and communal workspace for our project; focus on future endeavors was easy with such a welcoming environment. We hope to see many of you again next year and even sooner at the Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the end of April. General Physics is again proud to be a player in the global scientific enterprise. We are sure that research around the world will lead to a peaceful irenical solution to many of the current problems facing our society.
