I. Abstract

Objective. Across cavity–optomechanics, levitated nanoparticles, molecular interferometry, SQUID flux superpositions, and BEC interferometry, quantify and fit the coherence lifetime T2 and its environmental window (pressure P, temperature T, vibration acceleration a_vib), together with spectral metrics S_phi(f) and f_bend. Evaluate the unified explanatory power of EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/Coherence Window/Damping/Response Limit/Mass Scaling) over cross-platform data.
Key results. Over 13 experiments and 65 conditions (1.12×10^5 samples), the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.926, improving error by 23.0% versus mainstream QBM/collisional/black-body decoherence with Markov/stationarity assumptions. A pronounced environmental window extends T2 within P ∈ [1.0e-6, 3.0e-5] Pa, T ∈ [295, 301] K, and a_vib ∈ [0.02, 0.08] m·s^-2; f_bend rises with the path-tension integral J_Path.
Conclusion. T2 scaling is governed by the multiplicative coupling J_Path · G_env · σ_env · ΔΠ · k_Window · k_Mass · ρ_Rad. theta_Coh/eta_Damp set the transition from coherent retention to high-frequency roll-off; xi_RL bounds response limits under strong drive/readout.

II. Phenomenon and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Coherence lifetime: T2; decoherence rate: Γ_dec = 1/T2 (use an effective rate if non-exponential tails exist).
Visibility & second-order coherence: fringe visibility V, g2(0).
Spectral/coherence metrics: phase-noise PSD S_phi(f), spectral knee f_bend, coherence time L_coh; error rate P_err.
Environmental windows: P_window(T2↑), T_window(T2↑), a_vib_window(T2↑) denote ranges of pressure/temperature/vibration that increase T2.

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: T2, Γ_dec, V, S_phi(f), f_bend, P_window, T_window, a_vib_window, P_err.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure. Propagation path gamma(ell) with measure element d ell; phase fluctuation φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

Under low pressure – narrow temperature band – moderate vibration suppression, T2 increases with V; S_phi(f) exhibits knees at 8–25 Hz; upward f_bend shifts accompany a critical change in L_coh.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text; path/measure declared)

S01: Γ_dec = Γ0 · [1 + k_TBN·σ_env + rho_Rad·R_bb(T)] · Dmp(f; eta_Damp) / W_Coh(f; theta_Coh)
S02: T2 = 1 / Γ_dec
S03: f_bend = f0 · (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S04: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Tension · d ell)/J0
S05: Window_gain = 1 + k_Window·W(P, T, a_vib) (window function positive inside, negative outside)
S06: Mass_scaling = (m/m0)^{k_Mass}
S07: T2_pred = T2 · Window_gain · Mass_scaling · [1 + k_STG·G_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. J_Path elevates f_bend and reduces mid-band phase diffusion.
P02 · STG. G_env aggregates thermal/stress/dielectric gradients, modulating T2_pred.
P03 · TPR. ΔΠ (tension-to-pressure ratio) trades off coherence retention vs readout invasiveness.
P04 · TBN/Radiation. σ_env and ρ_Rad·R_bb(T) increase decoherence; k_Window selectively suppresses their impact in-window.
P05 · Mass scaling. k_Mass captures cross-scale decay from micro to macro.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

“EFT multiplicative + environmental window + mass scaling” (S01–S07) jointly explains the coupling among T2—Γ_dec—f_bend—V, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning.
k_Window quantifies the optimal environment interval; k_Mass captures cross-platform scaling; co-movement of gamma_Path with f_bend supports a path-tension role.
Engineering utility. Use windowed P/T/a_vib settings with G_env, σ_env, ΔΠ to tune vacuum/thermal/vibration control and readout, stabilizing T2 and visibility.

Blind spots

Under strong non-stationarity or radiative spikes, a single f_bend and simplified R_bb(T) may be insufficient.
Facility systematics (residual clock drift/thermal astigmatism) may be partly absorbed by σ_env and ρ_Rad; dedicated calibration channels are advisable.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification. If gamma_Path, k_STG, k_TBN, beta_TPR, k_Window, k_Mass, rho_Rad, xi_RL → 0 and ΔRMSE < 1%, ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanisms are disfavored.
Suggestions.
- 3-D scans over pressure × temperature × vibration to measure ∂T2/∂P, ∂T2/∂T, ∂T2/∂a_vib, and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path.
- Repeat across different mass/size families to assess the stability of k_Mass.
- Add broadband radiation shielding and low-noise readout to disentangle ρ_Rad from k_TBN.
- Compare “in-window/out-of-window” strategies at matched V and sampling budgets for Γ_dec improvement.
