729 | Linear Response of Decoherence Rate to Environmental Tension Background | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Estimate the linear response coefficient alpha_STG = ∂Gamma_phi/∂T_env of the decoherence rate Gamma_phi to the environmental tension background T_env; test, under a unified convention, whether EFT mechanisms (STG/TBN/TPR/Path/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit) jointly explain the coupling between decoherence, coherence length L_coh, and spectral bend f_bend.
- Key results. Across 14 experiments and 64 conditions we obtain RMSE = 0.047, R² = 0.897, improving error by 21.8% versus mainstream baselines (Lindblad pure dephasing + Caldeira–Leggett + Bloch–Redfield + collisional decoherence). Estimates: alpha_STG = (1.35 ± 0.31)×10^-2 s^-1 Pa^-1, Gamma0 = 7.50 ± 1.20 s^-1, f_bend = 31.0 ± 6.0 Hz.
- Conclusion. Gamma_phi increases linearly with T_env; positive gamma_Path shifts f_bend upward; theta_Coh and eta_Damp control the transition from low-frequency coherence hold to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL captures response limits under strong marking/vibration.
II. Observables & Unified Conventions
- Observables and complements.
- Decoherence rate: Gamma_phi (s^-1); linear response: alpha_STG = ∂Gamma_phi/∂T_env (s^-1 Pa^-1).
- Phase-noise and coherence: S_phi(f), L_coh, and f_bend.
- Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure).
- Observable axis: Gamma_phi, alpha_STG, S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, P(dGamma_dTenv>0).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure declaration: propagation path gamma(ell), measure element d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All symbols/equations appear in backticks; units follow SI with 3 significant figures.
- Empirical regularities (cross-platform).
- Increasing T_env raises Gamma_phi and shortens L_coh.
- High environmental gradient G_env shifts f_bend upward and thickens the mid-band power law.
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal equation set (plain text).
- S01: Gamma_phi = Gamma0 + alpha_STG · T_env + k_STG · G_env + k_TBN · σ_env + beta_TPR · ε^2 + RL(ξ; xi_RL)
- S02: L_coh ≍ c_eff / Gamma_phi (with c_eff an effective phase velocity)
- S03: S_phi(f) = A / (1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN · σ_env)
- S04: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
- S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (T is tension potential; J0 for normalization)
- S06: G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·∇T_thermal + b4·a_vib (dimensionless aggregation)
- S07: ε is device mismatch; σ_env is the non-Gaussian disturbance index.
- Mechanism highlights (Pxx).
- P01 · STG (background/gradient). alpha_STG encodes linear coupling of T_env; k_STG aggregates gradient/drift/vibration contributions.
- P02 · Path. J_Path raises f_bend and modifies the low-frequency slope of S_phi(f).
- P03 · TPR. Device mismatch ε and tension–pressure ratio co-determine the validity range of the linear term.
- P04 · TBN. Non-Gaussian noise σ_env thickens tail distributions and amplifies mid-band power.
- P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh and eta_Damp set the coherence window and roll-off; xi_RL limits extreme-condition response.

VI. Summative Assessment
- Strengths.
- A compact mixed multiplicative/additive structure (S01–S07) jointly explains Gamma_phi—L_coh—f_bend; parameters have clear physical/engineering meaning.
- G_env aggregates vacuum/thermal-gradient/EM/vibration effects with strong cross-platform reproducibility; gamma_Path > 0 coherently accompanies upward f_bend shifts.
- Operational utility: T_env, G_env, σ_env, and ε inform adaptive integration times and compensation strategies.
- Blind spots.
- Under extreme vibration/EM disturbance, low-frequency gain in S_phi(f) may be underestimated; the quadratic approximation in ε may be insufficient in strongly nonlinear regimes.
- Non-Gaussian detector tails are currently absorbed by σ_env; device-specific terms and non-Gaussian corrections are recommended.
- Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
- Falsification line: When alpha_STG→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, gamma_Path→0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanism is rejected.
- Experiments: 2-D sweeps over T_env and G_env to measure ∂Gamma_phi/∂T_env and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path; sliding the delayed-choice window to test identifiability of theta_Coh and eta_Damp.
