In joint experiments performed at Max Plank Institute of Aeronomy (Germany) and the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics in Pushchino, the main manifestations of the phenomenon of macroscopic fluctuations were confirmed. An increased probability of the similarity in synchronous histograms in independent measurements performed by two installations in one laboratory and in two laboratories separated by a distance of 2000 km was shown. In the latter case, the similarity of histograms is most probable at the same local time.

In the latter case, the similarity of histograms is most probable at the same local time.
It is shown that due to fluctuations, a sequence of discrete values is generated by successive measurement events whatever the type of the process measured. The corresponding histograms have much the same shape at any given time and for processes of a different nature and are very likely to change shape simultaneously for various processes and in widely distant laboratories. For a series of successive histograms, any given one is highly probably similar to its nearest neighbors and occurs repeatedly with a period of 24 hours, 27 days, and about 365 days, thus implying that the phenomenon has a very profound cosmophysical (or cosmogonic) origin.
An explanation of the appearance of the reproducible fine structure of the histograms corresponding to different processes from simple chemical reactions to radioactive decays is developed. Earlier this explanation was reduced to extremely strong influence of small changes between energy levels of a quantum system under study and its environment on the transition probability of the system (chemical reaction, radioactive decay, e.t.c.) from the system last quantum state to final result of the studied process. In the present paper it is supposed that the main factors determining this probability is the periodical or quasi-periodical low frequency changes of local gravitational field leading to corresponding changes of the system mass (the quantum transition probability depends exponentially on the latter). This approach seems to able to propose non-contradictory explanation of many manifestations of macroscopic fluctuation.
At present there is no generally accepted theory of the effect of macroscopic fluctuations. It the article, an attempt is made to relate this effect to some basic properties of quantum systems, in particular, to the formal absence of dynamic chaos in these systems. Based on this approach, it was shown why the level of the effect must be of the same order of magnitude as the level of noise and cannot exceed this level as the number of experiments increases. It was shown qualitatively what is the cause of the similarity of histograms observed in different experiments.
The phenomenon of regular dynamics of fine structure of sampling distributions in processes of radioactive decay type is discussed. The time dependence of the probability of their similarity indicates that the process measured is nonstationary. The most natural explanation for the disturbance of stationarity is the influence of gauging equipment, which in principle cannot be avoided completely. However, the universality of the effect and the presence of the correlation of the fine structure in independent synchronous processes leads one to suggest the existence of some global source. A mechanism of the generation of fine structure as a result of the influence of nontrivial topology of space on the decay process is proposed.
The nonlocal correlations of quantum entanglement have been unequivocally confirmed by experiments, yet standard quantum mechanics regards them as a fundamental, irreducible phenomenon. This paper asks: is there a deeper physical structure underlying entanglement? We propose the Instantaneous Teleportation Cosmos (ITC) framework as a theoretical model for such a deep structure, interpreting entangled particles as dual manifestations of the same basal storage unit. This basal structure possesses four core properties: Storage Perfection (P1), Instantaneous Connectivity (P2), Mapping Determinacy (P3), and Manifestation Finiteness (P4). The main obstacle to superluminal communication lies in P4: the randomness of single-shot measurements prevents direct information extraction. However, P4 does not forbid changes in statistical distributions–local modulation at the sender modifies the boundary conditions of the basal storage unit; through P2, this instantly affects the receiver’s basal state; and according to P3, such a change in the basal state necessarily alters the probability distribution at the receiver’s manifestation layer, manifesting as a tiny shift ΔP in the single-party probability. Based on the breakthrough 10‑km ion‑ion entanglement platform, we propose an immediately realizable experimental scheme: using a 7σ confidence standard, we will detect the significance of ΔP via a two‑sample z‑test, and directly measure the response delay with high‑precision timestamps. If ΔP is significantly non‑zero and the delay is much smaller than the light‑travel time, it would provide the first experimental evidence for the deep structure of entanglement; if no signal is observed, we will place stringent upper bounds on ΔP, thereby imposing the strictest test of the no-signaling theorem to date and severely restricting the possible space for a deep structure. The scheme employs the White Rabbit protocol for sub‑nanosecond time synchronization and includes false‑positive elimination measures such as zero‑entanglement control and fiber‑length variation. All necessary techniques are now mature, allowing the experiment to be performed immediately. This experiment constitutes a decisive test for the deep structure of quantum entanglement; regardless of the outcome, it will deepen our understanding of quantum nonlocality and causality.
Many phenomena in magnetism can be described using classical models, yet magnetism is a quantum mechanical effect. In addition to thermal fluctuations, quantum fluctuations arise due to the quantum uncertainty of the ground state. These fluctuations are enhanced by low dimensionality and low spin. Spin chains show interesting excitations associated with quasiparticles. Model materials for spin chains can be realized in compounds where the interchain interactions are weak enough. This thesis presents neutron scattering studies of two model materials for spin chains with different spin symmetry. The spin2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain CuSO4*5D2O has a main exchange of J ∼ 3 K, which permits to study its excitation spectrum up to temperatures of ten times the exchange. The spin2 Heisenberg magnet has been studied widely both theoretically and experimentally. The excitation spectrum of the spin2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet consists of quasiparticles called spinons, and calculations for it exist for T = 0 and as a function of temperature. A quantitative comparison between experimental data and theoretical models across a range of temperatures is presented. The excitation spectrum of CuSO4*5D2O is excellently described by the excitation spectrum of a spin2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain at finite temperatures. Energy-temperature scaling is observed at temperatures up to 2J . For these temperatures the Luttinger liquid description of the spin2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain is valid. A spinon continuum is confirmed at all measured temperatures. Therefore, even at ten times the main exchange (T ≈ 10 J), CuSO4*5D2O shows the behavior of a quantum magnet, and not of a classical system at infinite temperatures, for which one would expect single spin flips. The Ising chain is one of the most studied models in magnetism, one model compound for it is RbCoCl3. Optical spectroscopy measurements suggest a lower gap than for similar compounds, which makes it better suited for high resolution neutron spectroscopy. Magnetic correlations along the chains arise in RbCoCl3 below 80 K. A gapped continuum is observed, which arises from isolated antiferromagnetic Ising chains. Below the first magnetic ordering temperature TN1 ≈ 28 K bound states are observed, which arise due to correlations which form between the chains. Strong diffuse scattering leads to the conclusion that disorder is still present. At the second magnetic ordering transition, at TN2 ≈ 14 K, the bound states split as the correlations between the chains change. Fits indicate that the correlations change continuously as a function of temperature. Above TN2 the excitation spectrum of RbCoCl3 can be described by a spin1 2 Ising chain with an XY-component which is treated as a perturbation. Below TN2 the main features are reproduced correctly, but deviations from the details indicate that additional terms in the Hamiltonian may be necessary. This thesis was carried out at the Institut Laue-Langevin, the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering and Imaging at the Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zurich.
