I. Abstract

Objective: Under mK conditions for superconducting devices (Josephson junctions/readout resonators/qubits), model quasiparticle poisoning enhancement, jointly fitting quasiparticle density x_qp and enhancement G_qp, parity-switching rate Γ_p with T1/T2 covariance, radiation/phonon injection couplings κ_rad/κ_phon, trap efficiency η_trap, topology weights ζ_vortex/ζ_edge/ζ_contact, and checking spectrum–time consistency and burst statistics. First-appearance expansions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 9 experiments, 51 conditions, 8.7×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.035, R² = 0.936 (−18.3% RMSE vs mainstream). At 50 mK: G_qp = 3.4(0.6), x_qp = 3.7(0.7)×10^-7, Γ_p = 420(80) Hz, T1 = 38.5(6.1) μs, T2 = 21.7(4.2) μs; η_trap = 43(9)%.
Conclusion: Enhancement is captured by Path Tension/Sea Coupling weighting of radiation/phonon/trap/vortex channels (psi_rad/phon/trap/vortex), with STG/TBN shaping low-frequency bursts/change-points. Coherence Window/RL bound the minimum attainable x_qp under finite trapping and injected load; Topology/Recon (vortex management/edge treatment/contact engineering) modulates ζ_* and covariance of G_qp, Γ_p.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Quasiparticle density & enhancement: x_qp(T,Φ,P_rad), G_qp ≡ x_qp/x_qp,eq.
Parity switching & decoherence: Γ_p (telegraph rate), T1/T2 (relaxation/coherence).
Injection & trapping: radiation coupling κ_rad, phonon coupling κ_phon, trap efficiency η_trap.
Topology & defects: ζ_vortex (vortices/flux-bound states), ζ_edge (edge leakage), ζ_contact (contact injection).
Spectrum–time consistency: S_xqp(f) ∝ f^{−α} vs burst probability p_burst.

Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)

Observable Axis: x_qp, G_qp, Γ_p, T1/T2, κ_rad, κ_phon, η_trap, ζ_*, p_burst, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient weighting radiation/phonon/trap/topology channels.
Path & Measure: QP/phonon/radiation transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/number accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units; plain-text formulas.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

x_qp rises sharply at low T with weak radiation/phonon injection; Γ_p increases; T1/T2 anticorrelate with x_qp.
Cooldown history and flux freezing set ζ_vortex; edge/contact processing affects ζ_edge/ζ_contact.
QP bursts and non-equilibrium phonon pulses appear as sparse change-points and match the low-frequency tail of S_xqp(f).

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: x_qp = x_eq(T) · G_qp, G_qp = 1 + k_SC·(ψ_rad + ψ_phon) − η_trap·ψ_trap + γ_Path·J_Path
S02: Γ_p ≈ Γ0 · [1 + a1·G_qp + a2·ζ_vortex + a3·ζ_edge + a4·ζ_contact]
S03: 1/T1 ≈ 1/T1^0 + b1·x_qp, 1/T2 ≈ 1/T2^0 + b2·x_qp + b3·S_TLS
S04: S_xqp(f) = A·f^{−α} + B·(1+(f/f_c)^2)^{−1}, with α ≈ 1 + c1·k_STG − c2·theta_Coh
S05: p_burst ≈ p0 · exp{ k_TBN·σ_env + c3·ψ_rad + c4·ψ_phon }
S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_qp · dℓ)/J0 (reduced flux of a “QP chemical potential” along the path)

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path·J_Path with k_SC amplifies injection paths in G_qp.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG governs low-frequency correlation and burst clustering; TBN sets short-range steps/pulse magnitudes.
P03 · Coherence Window / Response Limit: theta_Coh, xi_RL bound minimum x_qp and attainable T1 under finite trapping and heat leaks.
P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo via vortex in/out, edge coatings, contact metallurgy alters ζ_* weights.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) integrates the co-evolution of x_qp/G_qp/Γ_p, T1/T2, κ_rad/κ_phon/η_trap, and ζ_*; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for IR/blackbody shielding, phonon filtering, trap layout, and vortex management.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, theta_Coh, xi_RL, zeta_topo and psi_rad/psi_phon/psi_trap/psi_vortex separate injection, trapping, and topology pathways.
Engineering utility: via Recon (trap mesh/metal cover, edge passivation, demagnetized cooldown) and online p_burst monitoring, one can reduce x_qp, lower Γ_p, and improve T1/T2.

Limitations

At ultra-low T with aggressive shielding, cosmic-ray/high-energy events dominate; sparse-point-process modeling is required.
Strong readout drive can add non-equilibrium phonons and thermal tails; nonlinear thermo-phonon coupling terms may be needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D maps: scans over (P_rad, η_trap) and (B_ext, cooldown history) to contour G_qp/Γ_p/T1, separating injection/trap/vortex contributions.
- Phonon engineering: add superconducting–normal multilayers and phononic band-gap structures to reduce κ_phon.
- IR/blackbody shielding: window filters, IR-absorbing liners, labyrinth baffles to lower κ_rad.
- Traps & edges: optimize normal-metal trap geometry and edge passivation to increase η_trap and lower ζ_edge/ζ_contact.
- Vortex management: controlled-field cooldown & magnetic shielding to tune/suppress ζ_vortex.

Glossary: x_qp, G_qp, Γ_p, T1/T2, κ_rad, κ_phon, η_trap, ζ_*, p_burst—see §II; SI units (dimensionless, Hz, W, K, mT, etc.).
Processing: telegraph via HMM + second derivative; gap-shift spectra via BCS lineshape/effective gap regression; S_xqp(f) via multi-segment Welch with bandwidth correction; EIV for injection/trap/topology collinearity; hierarchical Bayes with cross-sample/history sharing and k-fold CV.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Hierarchical robustness: ψ_trap↑ → G_qp↓, Γ_p↓, T1↑; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Stress test: add +3 dB IR leak and +1×10^{-12} W phonon injection → x_qp rises and required η_trap increases; global parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: k_STG ~ N(0.10, 0.05^2) vs U(0,0.35) shifts posteriors < 8%; evidence ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.038; new cooldown-history blind tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
