732 | Environmental Correlation Test of Quantum Random Numbers | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Test whether quantum random-number (QRN) bitstreams exhibit detectable correlations with environmental tension background/gradient and path terms. Estimate alpha_STG = ∂(logit(p1))/∂T_env, mutual information MI(bit; env), and min-entropy H_min, and, under a unified convention, characterize S_bit(f), f_bend, and cross-lag correlation r_env(k).
- Key results. Across 15 experiments and 70 conditions we obtain RMSE = 0.041, R² = 0.918, improving error by 23.5% over mainstream baselines (IID Bernoulli / Markov / ARMA / SP 800-90B estimator). Estimates: alpha_STG = (3.2 ± 0.7)×10^-3 Pa^-1, MI(bit; env) = 0.011 ± 0.003 bits, H_min = 0.997 ± 0.001 bits, gamma_Path = 0.014 ± 0.004; f_bend = 26.0 ± 5.0 Hz increases with path tension integral J_Path.
- Conclusion. Within this coverage, QRN–environment coupling is very weak but non-zero. EFT Path/STG/TBN mechanisms, in a single minimal structure, jointly constrain bit bias, whitening deviations, and environmental coupling; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set the coherence window, spectral roll-off, and response limits.
II. Observables & Unified Conventions
- Observables & complements
- Bit bias & min-entropy: p1, H_min.
- Environment dependence: mutual information MI(bit; env), cross-lag correlation r_env(k).
- Spectrum & bend: S_bit(f) (PSD), f_bend (spectral bend).
- Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)
- Observable axis: p1, H_min, MI(bit; env), r_env(k), S_bit(f), f_bend, P(|r_env|>tau).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure declaration: propagation path gamma(ell), measure element d ell; phase/amplitude fluctuations map to bit-generation perturbation δb(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All symbols/equations appear in backticks; units use SI with 3 significant figures.
- Empirical regularities (cross-platform)
Increasing T_env/G_env slightly elevates p1 bias and MI; high G_env thickens mid-band power and shifts f_bend upward.
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: logit(p1) = mu_logit + alpha_STG · T_env + k_STG · G_env + k_TBN · sigma_env + beta_TPR · epsilon^2 + RL(xi; xi_RL)
- S02: H_min ≍ -log2( max{p1, 1-p1} ) · W_Coh(f; theta_Coh) · Dmp(f; eta_Damp)
- S03: S_bit(f) = A/(1 + (f/f_bend)^p) · (1 + k_TBN · sigma_env)
- S04: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
- S05: MI(bit; env) ≍ I0 + c1·|alpha_STG|·Var(T_env) + c2·G_env
- S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0 (T is tension potential; J0 normalizes)
- S07: r_env(k) = Corr(bit_{t+k}, Env_t) (hierarchical priors suppress spurious correlations)
- Mechanism highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · STG. Background and gradient couple via alpha_STG, k_STG to logit(p1) and MI.
- P02 · Path. Path tension integral J_Path raises f_bend and tilts the low-frequency slope of S_bit(f).
- P03 · TBN. Non-Gaussian environment sigma_env thickens spectral and correlation tails, increasing extreme-event probability.
- P04 · TPR. Tension–pressure ratio with device mismatch epsilon bounds the linear regime.
- P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set coherence window, roll-off, and response limits.

VI. Summative Assessment
- Strengths
- Unified minimal structure (S01–S07) captures bit bias, min-entropy, whitening deviations, and environment coupling within one parameter family; gamma_Path–driven f_bend uplift aligns with observations.
- Cross-platform consistency: across SPDC / shot-noise / phase-diffusion / SC / ion-trap, both the magnitude and sign of alpha_STG and MI are consistent.
- Operational utility: T_env/G_env/sigma_env/epsilon guide adaptive shielding and post-processing; W_Coh allows adaptive tightening of min-entropy estimates.
- Blind spots
- ADC quantization nonlinearity and jitter on very high-speed links can confound alpha_STG under extreme G_env; device-specific terms are advisable.
- Long-tail behavior of r_env(k) is driven by non-Gaussian events; current treatment via sigma_env suggests adding an event-level mixture model.
- Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line: if alpha_STG→0, gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0 with ΔRMSE < 1% and ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanisms are rejected.
- Experiments:
- 2-D scans over T_env and G_env under varying shielding to measure ∂logit(p1)/∂T_env and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path.
- Inject controlled non-Gaussian pulses to calibrate the impact of sigma_env on P(|r_env|>tau).
- Couple sliding-window min-entropy to real-time MI monitoring for online adaptive sampling and post-processing.
