I. Abstract

Objective: Using balanced homodyne detection (BHD) squeezing, photon-counting HBT, electronic noise spectra, and thermal sensing, jointly identify and fit deviations of the squeezed-noise floor S_min(f) and the dead-time sensitivity band B_sens around detector dead time τ_d with uplift U_d(f), evaluating the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT versus mainstream “dead-time + electronics/thermal noise” frameworks.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian multitask fit over 10 experiments / 56 conditions / 5.09×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.042, R²=0.914, improving error by 16.6% versus a mainstream baseline; estimates include τ_d=38.5±4.2 ns, B_sens=27.3±6.1 kHz, U_d@f≈1/τ_d=+1.9±0.5 dB, ζ_min=−3.7±0.4 dB, η_eff=83.4±3.7%, δg2@τ≈τ_d=+0.062±0.015.
Conclusion: The sensitivity band is triggered by path tension gamma_Path and sea coupling k_SC that non-synchronously amplify the dead-time channel weight psi_dead. Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) biases sampling-window and phase–elastic coupling; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets jitter/noise near dead time. Coherence window/response limit bound the maximal attainable squeezing and bandwidth; topology/reconstruction modulates η_eff and S_el/S_th via detector–frontend–shielding topology.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

Squeezed floor & squeezing: ζ(f) ≡ S_min(f) / S_shot; squeezing improvement in dB is 10·log10 ζ(f).
Dead-time sensitivity band: B_sens is the bandwidth around f≈1/τ_d where ζ(f) degrades; U_d(f) is the uplift (dB) relative to the shot-noise baseline.
Counting bias: δg2(τ) ≡ g2_meas(τ) − g2_true(τ) peaks at τ≈τ_d.
System quantities: LO power P_LO, effective efficiency η_eff, and noise spectra S_el(f), S_th(f).
Unified error probability: P(|target−model|>ε).

• Unified Fitting Axes (Tri-axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: {ζ(f), S_min(f), U_d(f), B_sens, δg2(τ), τ_d, P_LO, η_eff, S_el(f), S_th(f), P(|⋯|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / TensionGradient (weighting optics/electronics/thermal skeletons).
Path & measure: noise/coherence transport along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; the sensitivity band is quantified via ∫ J·F dℓ and the dead-time window convolution area; SI units.

• Cross-Platform Empirics

Band-edge uplift: ζ(f) lifts (squeezing weakens) near f≈1/τ_d.
Counting bias: positive δg2(τ) peak at τ≈τ_d in HBT.
Efficiency covariance: η_eff ↑ → ζ_min ↓ (deeper squeezing), while U_d varies nonlinearly with P_LO and η_eff.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain-text formulas)

S01 (squeezed floor):
ζ(f) = ζ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_dead − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(theta_Coh; psi_interface)
with J_Path = ∫_γ (∇μ_sqz · dℓ)/J0.
S02 (band uplift):
U_d(f) ≈ a1·psi_dead · sinc^2(π f τ_d) + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·eta_Damp
S03 (counting deviation):
δg2(τ) ≈ b1·psi_dead · Π(τ/τ_d) + b2·k_TBN·σ_env where Π is the dead-time kernel.
S04 (efficiency & LO):
η_eff = η0 · [1 + c1·psi_interface + c2·zeta_topo − c3·eta_Damp]
and ζ_min decreases with P_LO, saturating under xi_RL:
∂ζ/∂P_LO → 0 as P_LO → P_sat.
S05 (noise separation):
S_total(f) = ζ(f)·S_shot + S_el(f) + S_th(f)

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/sea coupling: gamma_Path and k_SC amplify dead-time channel weight to form B_sens and U_d.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG biases band location via sampling/phase–elastic coupling; k_TBN sets jitter and δg2 baseline near dead time.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: bound attainable ζ_min and B_sens.
P04 · Topology/reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes η_eff and the balance of S_el/S_th via frontend wiring/shielding topology.

VI. Summative Evaluation

• Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of ζ/S_min, U_d/B_sens, δg2/τ_d, η_eff/P_LO, and S_el/S_th; parameters have clear physical meaning for detector chain and frontend electronics design.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/theta_Coh/xi_RL/zeta_topo and psi_dead/psi_interface disentangle dead-time channel, environmental noise, and boundary/topology contributions.
Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and wiring/shielding topology shaping can suppress U_d, narrow B_sens, and deepen ζ_min.

• Blind Spots

Under strong drive, APD/SiPM saturation and post-trigger recovery can introduce non-Markovian effects.
At high frequencies, sampling/windowing effects require stronger anti-aliasing and joint time–frequency modeling.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the JSON front matter.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan (P_LO, f) and (η_eff, f) to map ζ, U_d, B_sens, separating STG vs. TBN contributions.
- Chain engineering: frontend bandwidth shaping/anti-alias filtering and low-noise amplifier replacement to reduce S_el/S_th.
- Dead-time management: multi-detector interleaving and time-staggered sampling to reduce effective ψ_dead.
- Synchronized acquisition: BHD + HBT + thermal/environment co-measurement to verify the hard link among U_d–δg2–τ_d.
