A non-invasive method for storing, editing, deleting, appending, and retrieving infinite quantities of audio, visual or tactile data from targeted neuronal groups in the human brain. The process involves transmitting sequenced, buffered, and indexed data streams to human sensory receptors. Each data stream contains an ordinal or cardinal position that identifies a targeted group of neurons. Linear data streams may be stacked vertically and then transmitted to manufacture complete thoughts. Both linear and stacked data streams create artificial memory constructs. The manufactured memories appear older than they are because of the indexed and undated artificial mnemonic environmental variables embedded in the data stream. This method further creates a genius complex in some individuals whereby implanted memories are recalled quickly and precisely using a sequenced query that specifies the neuronal group. In stark contrast, the brain indexes naturally occurring memories with non-indexed and unknown variables randomly selected by the human senses.

This disclosure relates to preserving a quantum state in a quantum memory. A controller of the quantum memory determines based on a characteristic of noise that causes deterioration of the quantum state a dynamical decoupling base sequence. The duration of the base sequence is shorter than or equal to an access latency time of the quantum memory to allow access to the quantum state within the access latency time. Further, the deterioration of the quantum state is bounded to an upper deterioration limit when the base sequence is repeatedly applied to the quantum system. This provides acceptable access times while simultaneously allowing long term storage of data in the quantum state with low error rates. Repeatedly applying the base sequence to the quantum system will first yield an increasing deterioration but that deterioration will eventually reach the upper limit. As a result, over time the error rates will not exceed that upper limit and the quantum state is stable.
