Relationships among near set theory, shape maps and recent accounts of the Quantum Hall effect pave the way to quantum computations performed in higher dimensions.  We illustrate the operational procedure to build a quantum computer able to detect, assess and quantify a fourth spatial dimension.  We show how, starting from two-dimensional shapes embedded in a 2D topological charge pump, it is feasible to achieve the corresponding four-dimensional shapes, which encompass a larger amount of information.  This novel, relatively straightforward architecture not only permits to increase the amount of available qbits in a fixed volume, but also converges towards a solution to the problem of optical computers, that are not allowed to tackle quantum entanglement through their canonical superposition of electromagnetic waves.

Dynamical PDEs that have a spatial divergence form possess conservation laws that involve an arbitrary function of time. In one spatial dimension, such conservation laws are shown to describe the presence of an x -independent source/sink; in two and more spatial dimensions, they are shown to produce a topological charge. Two applications are demonstrated. First, a topological charge gives rise to an associated spatial potential system, allowing non-local conservation laws and symmetries to be found for a given dynamical PDE. This type of potential system has a different form and different gauge freedom compared to potential systems that arise from ordinary conservation laws. Second, when a topological charge arises from a conservation law whose conserved density is non-trivial off of solutions to the dynamical PDE, then this relation yields a constraint on initial/boundary data for which the dynamical PDE will be well posed. Several examples of nonlinear PDEs from applied mathematics and integrable system theory are used to illustrate these results.

New theory of the width of the peaks of the diagonal conductivity in the quantum Hall effect suggested recently by Polyakov and Shklovskii is extended to describe the peak widths of attenuation of the surface acoustic waves (SAW). In contrast to electromagnetic waves, wavelength of SAW can be smaller than the relevant localization length. This leads to a drastic increase of the peaks widths. The latter are shown to grow as (Ts(ω)/T1)0.4 where the effective temperature Ts is about 400ħω for GaAs.
