We disclose transconductor-capacitor classical dynamical systems that emulate quantum dynamical systems and quantum-inspired systems by composing them with 1) capacitors that represent ℏ termed Planck capacitors; 2) a ‘quantum admittance’ element, which can be emulated efficiently via coupled transconductors; 3) an emulated ‘quantum transadmittance element’ that can couple emulated quantum admittances to each other; and 4) an emulated ‘quantum transadmittance mixer element’ that can couple emulated quantum admittances to each other under the control of an input. We describe a ‘Quantum Cochlea’, a biologically-inspired quantum traveling-wave system with coupled emulated quantum two-state systems for efficient spectrum analysis that uses all of these parts. We show how emulated quantum transdmittance mixers can help represent an exponential number of quantum superposition states in the spectral domain with linear classical resources, even if they are not all simultaneously accessible as in actual quantum systems.
