Quantum Field Platform

An overview

The Quantum Field Platform is a comprehensive software ecosystem designed to implement the vast majority of use cases in the embedded systems world. Within this ecosystem, every application represents a Logical Unit capable of generating, receiving, analyzing, and storing data.

To categorize these units, the platform adopts a nomenclature inspired by subatomic particles:

• Leptons: The simplest logical units associated with I/O devices (sensors, switches, relays, controllers, displays, speakers, actuators, etc.).
• Mesons: Units dedicated to data storage (databases, files, RAM, raw storage devices, etc.).
• Bosons: Units responsible for data exchange, acting as servers of varying complexity.
• Baryons: High-level units that implement complex logic, ranging from AI and advanced algorithms to various control and management systems.

All these logical units interact through an asynchronous message-exchange system mediated by a central broker.

Application Examples

The versatility of the Quantum Field Platform can be seen in the following embedded scenarios:

Remote Monitoring System: An SBC (Single Board Computer) collects temperature values from a sensor. These values are stored in a database and analyzed to evaluate time-based trends, with the results viewable via a web application.

Industrial Motion Control: An SBC manages an electric motor via Bluetooth through a mobile application. Real-time operational data from the motor is stored in the device's RAM for immediate processing.

The VacuumOS Infrastructure

Since GNU/Linux is the premier choice for embedded development, the platform includes VacuumOS: a minimal, high-performance Linux distribution built using the Yocto Project.

To ensure seamless communication and web accessibility, VacuumOS comes with pre-installed industry standards:

• Eclipse Mosquitto: A message broker implementing the MQTT protocol.
• NGINX: A high-performance web server.

Language Interoperability

The logical units (Leptons, Mesons, Bosons, and Baryons) are developed using a multi-language approach. This ensures a perfect balance between raw performance and integration with existing software architectures. The supported languages within the Quantum Field Platform include Go, Rust, C, C++, JavaScript, and Python.
