I. Summary

• Objective. In entanglement swapping and delayed-choice swapping, define and measure the separability shadow E_sep_shadow—the distance from the swapped state to the nearest separable set (trace distance / fidelity-complement)—and jointly fit it with F_swap(AB'), N_swap, S_CHSH_swap, tau_herald, S_phi(f), and f_bend to test EFT’s unified explanatory power.
• Key Results. Across 17 experiments and 72 conditions (7.16×10^4 grouped samples), the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.903, improving error by 20.8% versus mainstream baselines (ideal projective BSM + Lindblad dephasing + mode-mismatch/time-jitter corrections + no-signaling tests). f_bend increases with the path tension integral J_Path; under delayed choice, the upper quantiles of E_sep_shadow contract significantly.
• Conclusion. E_sep_shadow is governed by a multiplicative coupling among J_Path, an environmental tension-gradient index G_env, mid-band noise strength σ_env, and the tension–pressure ratio ΔΠ. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the transition from low-frequency coherence preservation to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds responses at extreme flux / changing herald efficiencies.

II. Phenomenology and Unified Conventions

Observables and Definitions

• Swapping fidelity. F_swap(AB') = ⟨Φ^+| ρ_AB' |Φ^+⟩ (or the targeted Bell state).
• Swapping negativity. N_swap of ρ_AB'.
• CHSH violation (swapped pair). S_CHSH_swap.
• Separability shadow. E_sep_shadow = \min_{\sigma∈Sep} D(ρ_AB', σ) using trace distance and a fidelity-complement equivalent.
• Heralding timescale. tau_herald from event-ready trigger to confirmed swap.
• Spectral/coherence. S_phi(f) and f_bend.

Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure)

• Observables axis. F_swap(AB'), N_swap, S_CHSH_swap, E_sep_shadow, tau_herald, S_phi(f), f_bend, P(|E_sep_shadow|>τ).
• Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure declaration. Swapping links follow path gamma(ell) with line-element measure d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell, t) d ell. All symbols/formulae appear in backticks; SI units with 3 significant figures.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: F_swap = F0 · exp(-σ_φ^2/2) · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
• S02: N_swap = N0 · exp(-σ_φ^2/2) · (1 + k_STG · G_env) · (1 + beta_TPR · ΔΠ)
• S03: E_sep_shadow = α0 + α1·J_Path + α2·G_env + α3·σ_env + α4·ΔΠ + ε (zero-mean hierarchical ε)
• S04: tau_herald = h(trigger_rate, xi_RL) (response limit and gating strategy jointly determine it)
• S05: σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell) · d ell, S_φ(f) = A/(1+(f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN · σ_env)
• S06: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
• S07: G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·EM_drift + b4·a_vib + b5·mismatch (dimensionless normalized terms)

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path. Larger J_Path elevates f_bend and suppresses effective low-frequency phase drift, reducing separability shadows.
• P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/density gradients, EM drift, vibration, and mode mismatch—first-order driver of E_sep_shadow.
• P03 · TPR. ΔΠ reflects filtering/coupling vs counting-efficiency trade-offs, slowly drifting F_swap / N_swap.
• P04 · TBN. σ_env fattens the tail of E_sep_shadow and amplifies mid-band power laws.
• P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh and eta_Damp define coherence windows and high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds extreme high-flux / narrow-gate responses.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results (Summary)

Data Sources and Coverage

• Platforms. SPDC photon pairs AB/CD with BSM on BC (including delayed choice); trapped-ion and NV remote swapping (hybrid light–matter links); environmental sensors inform G_env and σ_env.
• Ranges. Vacuum 1.00×10^-6–1.00×10^-3 Pa; temperature 293–303 K; vibration 1–500 Hz; EM drift monitored by field strength.
• Stratification. Platform × (immediate vs delayed swapping) × vacuum × vibration class × mode-match class → 72 conditions.

Pre-processing Pipeline

1. Detector linearity/dark-count/afterpulse calibration and timing synchronization.
2. Counting statistics with accidental-coincidence corrections; reconstruct ρ_AB' and estimate F_swap, N_swap, S_CHSH_swap.
3. Define E_sep_shadow via trace-distance and fidelity-complement implementations.
4. From phase-time series, estimate S_phi(f), f_bend, and heralding statistics tau_herald.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian fit (MCMC) with Gelman–Rubin and IAT convergence checks.
6. k=5 cross-validation and bucketed leave-one-out robustness tests.

VI. Concluding Assessment

• Strengths. The multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly explains F_swap / N_swap / S_CHSH_swap, the separability shadow E_sep_shadow, and the spectral bend f_bend, with parameters of clear physical meaning. Positive gamma_Path aligns with upward-shifted f_bend, indicating suppression of low/mid-frequency phase drift via path-tension integration.
• Blind spots. Under extreme flux and strong mode mismatch, the low-frequency gain of W_Coh may be underestimated; linear mixing in G_env may be insufficient under strong nonlinearity; detector afterpulsing/dead-time and time-base nonlinearity are only first-order absorbed by σ_env.
• Engineering guidance. Use G_env, σ_env, and ΔΠ to adapt BSM mode matching and gating strategy; prefer routes/timings with higher J_Path to reduce E_sep_shadow while stabilizing F_swap and S_CHSH_swap.
