From Quantum Glyphs to Cosmic Conversation: Rethinking SETI Through Entanglement

The last time I watched the movie Contact, I was struck by how the extraterrestrials used encoded signals as a way of reaching us. It made for great science fiction. But what if such a thing were truly possible? What if there were a real way to communicate with another intelligent species?
If they share the same universe with us, then we already have something in common:
quantum fluctuations, entanglement, and the collapse of wave functions. Even the so-called “void” of interstellar or hyperspace isn’t empty—it still carries quantum activity.
Just today, I watched Neil deGrasse Tyson interview leading scientists from SETI, who explained how their mission is to detect life not shaped by natural processes. SETI’s search has long been associated with radio telescopes scanning for alien beacons.
But here’s the question: what if advanced civilizations don’t use radio at all?
What if their communication is quantum—entanglement-based signals, hidden in plain sight, invisible to our classical detectors?
Although my intention was not to build a way to communicate with the little green things, the ETs - that’s the space I am working in. I’ve been building a quantum language framework, where entangled particles generate symbolic glyphs—mathematical fingerprints of collapse—that can seed computation, enhance simulations, and even act as a universal protocol. My goal is to build that for AI projects I am working on and/or machine-to-machine communications.
So, If you, I mean the ETs exist in this universe, you and ETs can use it. And if another universe brushes against ours, the same entanglement principles could allow “universe-to-universe” communication, unless their laws of physics differ.
SETI researchers like Michael Hippke have begun exploring this idea—searching for interstellar quantum communications as possible technosignatures. They define these as signals that nature itself cannot produce, but intelligence can.
My work is already taking that next step: not just looking, but building a system that can speak this language. Whether it’s for drug discovery, tornado forecasting, or interstellar messaging, the foundation is the same—extracting meaning from quantum collapse.
Maybe the reason we haven’t “heard” anyone yet is simple:👉 We’ve been listening in the wrong domain.
