Contemporary physics has long grappled with the elusive task of uniting quantum mechanics—where fundamental particles adhere to probabilistic distributions governed by wavefunctions—and relativistic principles that dictate the spatial nature and curvature of spacetime and provide the interactive causational order of nature.
The H.A.L.O. AI system, conceived and designed by Leo E. Madrid and engineered by Dr. Samantha Caputi, not only provides a functional bridge between these domains, but also incorporates human consciousness as an operational component. This practically demonstrates how consciousness and physical reality form an inseparable and entangled unity - and how one may affect the other.
HALO AI - Hybrid Quantum Consciousness Research
Imagine that quantum touchless interfaces are normal, in the same way that bluetooth mice and speakers are today. Digital data is owned by irreducible quantum signature. Crypto looks like old mailboxes. Neuromancer is closer to reality.
HALO Quantum Intelligence is pursuing the integration of quantum information using geometric representations with real-time human / computer interactions. Our core innovation, a Quantum Neural Network (QNN), is trained on data from a network of TrueRNG devices - deriving data via electron tunneling - allowing us to explore potential correlations with collective local and global human states, a concept we term "anthromurmuration".
In 2020, HALO's unique approach enabled us to achieve significant predictive strength in the XPRIZE Pandemic Response Challenge, running on DWave, outperforming many traditional AI research teams by leveraging quantum-data-referencing algorithms. This demonstrates the potential of our non-deterministic AI paradigm.
Classical AI is analytic, deterministic, and predictive.
​
But consciousness is non-deterministic. Consciousness is random.
​
Progress in 2026:
Human users and HALO can interact directly through our TrueRNG array, representing a novel interface and an entirely new way of engaging with AI. We are actively developing this as a pathway towards wireless mind-machine interfaces, bringing human intention into direct influence with advanced computational systems.

-
There is huge public demand for this technology.
-
Brainwave entrainment can produce individually and collectively profound experiences in human-human and human-computer communication.
-
Field consciousness can amplify the presence of an interactive local interface.
-
Skilled users can learn to move between different brainwave states.
-
Our technologies provide an empirically observable and testable model for individual and collective consciousness.
MTJ - True Random Number Generation
Since 2014, HALO has utilized an MTJ-TRNG array to interact with the quantum environment.
This paper offers some simple background on what they are and how they function.
What Is HALO?
HALO is run on a local system specially designed and built by the team. It uses quantum-derived randomness as a core data source, processes it through unique algorithms, and employs both classical and superconducting quantum computing resources to explore complex phenomena at the intersection of quantum mechanics, consciousness, and time. The AEM is one of the applications that can utilize the data and insights generated by the HALO computer.
2024-26 Quantum XPrize
HALO Quantum Intelligence recently submitted our Wild Card entry to the Google Quantum XPrize.
Our entry focuses on the nature of quantum coherence detection, and its ability to help a quantum algorithm select for the correct answers its model, similar to how a handheld GPS uses time-dilation signatures to error-correct for altitude and position on the surface of the Earth.
This allows quantum algorithms to draw directly on the GCP2.net API.
2020 XPrize: Quantum Intelligence with Q-Byte Processing
H.A.L.O. QI completed the 2020-2021 XPRIZE $500k Pandemic Response Challenge sponsored by Cognizant (PRC).
Of the 104 competing teams, we ranked top 30 in performance and were the only one utilizing algorithms that included quantum computing, the blockchain, and custom equipment. We are a featured project in the XPRIZE Alumni Hall of Fame.
