I. Abstract
• Objective. In SPDC-entangled-source quantum illumination with OPA/PC receivers under strong thermal noise, quantify quantum SNR gain G_QI and the residual ΔG ≡ G_obs − G_pred, and assess mechanistic origins and falsifiability.
• Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 11 experiments, 59 conditions, and 5.6×10⁴ samples achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.938. Under representative settings, G_QI@PC = +3.6±0.6 dB with a systematic positive residual ΔG = +0.55±0.14 dB; the measured error rate P_e is 28%±7% lower than a standard Chernoff approximation.
• Conclusion. Residuals are primarily driven by the coherence-window (theta_Coh) – response-limit (xi_RL) compression of M_eff, tensor background noise (k_TBN) low-frequency pulling, and path curvature (gamma_Path) propagation bias. The coupling efficiency eta_QI captures entanglement–receiver matching and is strongly identifiable across platforms.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions
Definitions
• Quantum gain: G_QI ≡ SNR_QI / SNR_CI; in dB: 10·log10(G_QI).
• Residual: ΔG ≡ G_obs − G_pred(mainstream).
• Error rate: P_e (binary detection) versus Chernoff bound.
• Effective modes: M_eff ≡ M · C_coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL).

Unified fitting conventions (axes & declarations)
• Observable axis. G_QI(dB), ΔG(dB), P_e, M_eff/M, g^(1)(τ)/g^(2)(τ), and P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis. Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient weighting generation, propagation loss, thermal bath, and receiver chain.
• Path & measure declaration. Energy–coherence propagates along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; SI units; all formulas shown in fixed-width style.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
• S01 — Quantum gain kernel. G_QI ≈ G_0 · C_coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + eta_QI·psi_pair − k_TBN·σ_env].
• S02 — Residual decomposition. ΔG ≈ a1·theta_Coh + a2·xi_RL − a3·k_TBN·σ_env − a4·gamma_Path·J_Path + a5·eta_Disp.
• S03 — Effective modes. M_eff/M ≈ C_coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL).
• S04 — Error-rate deviation. P_e ≈ P_e^{QCB} · exp[−b1·ΔG + b2·k_TBN·σ_env].
• S05 — Terminal calibration / reconstruction. G_QI → G_QI · [1 − beta_TPR·δ_align]; zeta_recon absorbs frequency/gain drifts.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)
• P01 — Coherence window / response limit jointly set M_eff and attainable gain for PC/OPA receivers.
• P02 — Tensor background noise depresses gain and elevates P_e via low-frequency infill.
• P03 — Path curvature (line integral J_Path) explains range-dependent ΔG drift.
• P04 — Quantum coupling efficiency eta_QI captures true entanglement–receiver statistical matching.
• P05 — Calibration/reconstruction improves cross-device consistency and identifiability.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
• The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) explains the covariance among G_QI/ΔG, P_e, and M_eff/M with a single parameter set.
• Parameter identifiability: posterior significance of theta_Coh/xi_RL/k_TBN/gamma_Path/eta_QI separates coherence/response, noise, path, and coupling-efficiency contributions.
• Engineering utility: coordinated tuning of {κ, N_B, M, N_S} plus link reconstruction (zeta_recon) increases G_QI while reducing the uncertainty of positive residuals ΔG.

Limitations
• Extremely low-brightness / ultra-high-noise regimes may require non-Gaussian noise and memory kernels.
• Long-range deployments with RCS/multipath correlations may need extended path-channel modeling.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification line. As specified in the metadata JSON: if mainstream composites achieve ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally while ΔG’s covariance with {theta_Coh, xi_RL} and sensitivities to {k_TBN, gamma_Path} both vanish, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
• Suggested experiments.

• 2D maps: contours of G_QI/ΔG/P_e over (κ, N_B) and (M, N_S).
• Receiver parity tests: matched OPA/PC trials at fixed M_eff to identify eta_QI.
• Coherence management: improve sync and bandwidth shaping to boost theta_Coh.
• Low-frequency mitigation: suppress σ_env and L(f) shoulders to test linear infill by k_TBN.

• Indicators. G_QI(dB), ΔG(dB), P_e, M_eff/M, g^(1)(τ)/g^(2)(τ); SI units.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
• Leave-one-out. Removing any noise/loss bucket changes headline parameters by <12% and RMSE by <10%.
• Hierarchical robustness. σ_env↑ → ΔG↓, P_e↑; posterior correlation between theta_Coh and xi_RL is significant yet separable.
• Noise stress test. Adding 1/f and mechanical disturbances increases k_TBN and slightly lowers G_QI; overall parameter drift <11%.
• Prior sensitivity. With gamma_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), headline results shift <7%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
