Research manuscripts
Beyond Classical Computer Science: Educating for Quantum Computing in Colombia
Examines the competencies needed for quantum computing and proposes an educational pathway in the Colombian context, connecting computing, physics, and the development of the quantum workforce.

Evidence-Gated Admission Control for Autonomous Quantum Research: An Architecture and Simulation Study
Proposes a framework for conditioning access to quantum hardware on reproducible classical evidence. The study evaluates candidate readiness and resource allocation through simulation; its reported results do not establish validation on physical quantum hardware.

Exponential by Design: Why a Million Classical Cores Cannot Match a Hundred Good Qubits
Discusses classical parallelism, quantum interference, computational complexity, and the relationship between HPC and quantum computing. The comparison examines problem structure and hardware limitations rather than treating qubit counts as a general performance benchmark.
