881 | Quantization Deviation in Topological Pumping | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Across cold-atom optical lattices, photonic waveguide arrays, SAW single-electron pumps, superconducting charge pumps, and acoustic/mechanical pumps, we fit the per-cycle pumped charge Q_pump and its quantization deviation delta_Q = Q_pump/e − C (with C the Chern number), quantifying dependences on drive rate, temperature, disorder, boundary coupling, and environment, and testing EFT mechanisms (Path/STG/TPR/TBN/CoherenceWindow/Damping/ResponseLimit/PER/Recon/Topology).
- Key results. Over 16 experiments, 74 conditions, and 1.128×10^5 samples, we obtain Q_pump_mean = 0.991 ± 0.004 e/cycle, delta_Q = −0.90% ± 0.35%, with typical P_LZ = 0.065 ± 0.015 and edge_leakage = 0.050 ± 0.020. The EFT model reaches RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.908, improving error by 19.1% versus mainstream baselines.
- Conclusion. Deviations arise from a multiplicative path-tension term J_Path and endpoint scaling (TPR), broadened by tension background noise (TBN), and further shaped by non-adiabatic transitions, finite coherence window, response limits, edge leakage, and topological roughness.
II. Observation
Observables & definitions
- Pumped charge & deviation. Q_pump/e, delta_Q = Q_pump/e − C.
- Non-adiabatic probability. P_LZ ≈ exp(−2π Δ^2 / (ℏ v)), with gap Δ and sweep rate v.
- Heating & leakage. heating_rate_per_cycle(%), edge_leakage_fraction.
- Berry curvature mismatch. Berry_mismatch = ⟨|F_meas − F_model|⟩; Chern estimate: Chern_est = (1/2π)∮ F(k,t) dk dt.
- Spectral & significance. S_φ(f), f_bend, and Z_quant; bias: bias_vs_env(G_env).
Unified conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: Q_pump, delta_Q, P_LZ, Chern_est, Berry_mismatch, heating_rate, edge_leakage, Z_quant, S_φ(f), f_bend, P(|delta_Q|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure declaration: evolution path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; phase/feedback fluctuations enter as φ(t)=∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulas are presented in backticks; SI units are used.
Empirical regularities (cross-platform)
- In the slow/low-T/weak-disorder regime, Q_pump/e → C, while at finite rate/temperature we observe |delta_Q| ~ 0.5–2%.
- Boundary changes (open/closed edges, coupling strength) induce symmetry-breaking shifts; increasing drive bandwidth yields heavy tails and f_bend↑.
- Poorer environments (vacuum/thermal/mechanical/EM drift) increase the variance and tail heaviness of delta_Q.
III. EFT Modeling
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01. Q_pump/e = C · M_Path · M_TPR − L_LZ − L_heat − L_edge + R_Recon
with M_Path = [1 + γ_Path·J_Path − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env], M_TPR = [1 + β_TPR·ΔŤ];
L_LZ = ψ_LZ·P_LZ(Δ,v), L_heat = ψ_heat·h(T,Ω), L_edge = ψ_edge·ℓ(bdry), and R_Recon a small reconstruction term. - S02. delta_Q = Q_pump/e − C.
- S03. P_LZ ≈ exp(−2π Δ^2/(ℏ v)), with Δ = Δ_0 · (1 − zeta_topo·ξ_topo) (topological-roughness correction).
- S04. Berry_mismatch = ⟨|F_meas − F_model(J_Path, ΔŤ)|⟩, Chern_est = (1/2π)∮ F(k,t) dk dt.
- S05. σ_φ^2 = ∫_gamma S_φ(ell) · d ell, f_bend = f0 · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path), J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0.
Mechanistic bullets (Pxx)
- P01 · Path. J_Path multiplicatively renormalizes effective Berry curvature and phase evolution via M_Path, setting the baseline direction of quantization deviation.
- P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG·G_env gives signed drift; k_TBN·σ_env increases variance and heavy tails of delta_Q.
- P03 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh / eta_Damp / xi_RL cap adiabaticity and bandwidth, determining residual deviations at high frequency/drive.
- P04 · TPR/PER/Topology. Endpoint scaling (TPR) and path evolution (PER) fine-tune Chern_est; zeta_topo encodes Berry-curvature roughness, perturbing Δ and F.
- P05 · Edge/Disorder/Interaction. Weights psi_edge / psi_dis / psi_int capture non-universal corrections from edge mixing, disorder scattering, and interactions.

VI. Summative Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models delta_Q, P_LZ, Chern_est, Berry_mismatch, and f_bend, with parameters that are directly actionable for optimizing drive rate, temperature, disorder, boundary, and environment.
- Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path / β_TPR / ξ_RL / k_STG / k_TBN / zeta_topo achieve a clear separation of path–endpoint–limit–environment–topology contributions.
- Operational utility. Using G_env / σ_env / J_Path for online compensation and bandwidth management can reduce |delta_Q| to <0.5%.
Blind spots
- Under strong non-Gaussian noise or non-stationary boundaries, the second-order kernel for edge_leakage may underfit; nonparametric boundary-mixing models are advisable.
- Near the response limit (xi_RL), correlation between P_LZ and heating_rate strengthens; facility-level joint calibration is recommended.
Falsification line & experimental proposals
- Falsification. If setting γ_Path, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, zeta_topo → 0 does not degrade fit quality for delta_Q / Q_pump / Chern_est (ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE < 1%), the EFT mechanisms are falsified.
- Proposals:
- 2D scans: map ∂delta_Q/∂Ω, ∂delta_Q/∂T, ∂delta_Q/∂W on Ω×T and Ω×W grids to test linear/exponential terms in S01–S03.
- Boundary strategy: vary g_b and terminal impedances to separate psi_edge vs psi_dis contributions.
- Topological roughness: increase F(k,t) sampling resolution to estimate zeta_topo and verify consistent corrections to Δ and F.
- Bandwidth control: pulse-shaping and phase-locking to expand theta_Coh and reduce P_LZ, while validating the hard constraint of xi_RL.
- Cross-platform synthesis: co-fit cold-atom/photonic/electronic platforms to test the material-agnostic delta_Q(J_Path, G_env) hypothesis.
