Experimental setup for measuring the speed of interference

Masanori Sato

The transient phenomena of the Mach-Zender interferometer are discussed. To test the non-locality hypothesis, a single mode laser with a large coherence length is used. The behavior of a photon and its wave packets in the paths of the interferometer are discussed. Coherent photons have wave packets that overlap, thus their interference pattern is influenced by the overlap of the wave packets of other photons in transient phenomena. The proposed transient light-interference experiment will provide experimental data testing the non-locality hypothesis.

Quantum Contact H10: Cross-Path Optical Response Between Trajectories Sharing One Laser Source — Experimental Hypothesis and Testing Protocol (Bilingual EN–ES, v1.1)

Juan Sebastian Baena Cock

Quantum Contact H10 is a bilingual (English–Spanish) preliminary scientific paper presenting a falsifiable experimental hypothesis and a prospective testing protocol. The project investigates whether a controlled physical intervention on one optical-fiber trajectory (S2) produces an additional, reproducible response in another trajectory (S1), both illuminated by a common laser source. The proposed five-module apparatus combines an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, BPW34 photodiodes, PMMA optical fibers, magnetic and electric interventions, and an auxiliary double-slit experiment. The paper describes the experimental architecture, hardware and software implementation, Python/Flask-based acquisition, calibration procedures, randomized real-versus-sham trials, statistical analysis, and criteria for supporting, constraining, or rejecting the hypothesis. The protocol explicitly addresses common-source fluctuations, electromagnetic interference, thermal effects, vibration, and other conventional explanations. **This is a hypothesis and experimental protocol, not a report of confirmed H10 results.** No novel quantum interaction or photon entanglement is claimed. Author: J.S.Baenacock — JSBC Labs, Independent Researcher. Version 1.1 — 24 October 2026.

Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in 2D Photon Gas System

Marius Puplauskis, Violetta Sharoglazova, Jan Klaers

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis states that as the size of the system increases, fluctuations of observables should decay exponentially to canonical averages. The hypothesis provides an interpretation of why isolated quantum system can equilibrate or obey thermodynamic laws. In our work, we aim to test this hypothesis by employing a two-dimensional photon gas trapped in a gravitational wedge potential. Gas takes form of an intensity pattern comprised eigenstates and captured by a camera. Photons are created via excitation of a dye inside a Fabry-Perot mirror resonator by a green (532 nm) nanosecond (26 ns) laser. By changing gain (laser pumping) position different system states are probed. Statistical and spatial properties of latter are analyzed and processed to test the hypothesis. This work demonstrates a novel photonic platform to experimentally probe thermalization in isolated quantum systems.
