Logica Quanta III

Larry Lim Kheng Cheong

Logica Quanta III completes the Logica Quanta trilogy by translating accumulated wave interference from a conceptual and mechanistic proposal into a set of explicit, falsifiable experimental predictions. Building on Logica Quanta I, which reframed physics as interacting waves, and Logica Quanta II, which identified accumulated interference as the physical origin of collapse, this paper asks a single empirical question: if accumulated interference is real, where should it appear? The paper identifies history-dependent (hysteretic) signatures that are forbidden by standard, memoryless formulations of quantum mechanics. These include deviations in tunneling statistics, polarization dynamics, decoherence rates, and weak-interaction phase evolution under sustained wave–environment coupling. No new particles, forces, or speculative assumptions are introduced. The proposed tests rely exclusively on existing experimental platforms such as Josephson junctions, magneto-optic systems, superconducting qubits, and long-baseline weak-interaction experiments. Logica Quanta III is intentionally conservative: it specifies where accumulated interference must manifest—and how it can be decisively falsified—if collapse is a dynamical consequence of wave history rather than an instantaneous postulate.

Virtual Cloud Effects in Perturbed Atoms

G. Compagno, G. Massimo Palma, Andrea E. Santangelo

We consider the interplay between the structure and the dynamics of a quantum source and the virtual photon cloud surrounding it in two simple models: as first case we examine the structure of the virtual cloud surrounding a model of static source formed by the N = 1, N = 2 shells of the hydrogen atom when a static uniform electric field acts on the source. The distortion induced on the source is reflected on the structure of the virtual cloud. In fact in the presence of the external field new components of the virtual cloud appear. These new components extend to large distances and have the same spatial symmetry of the one induced by the static field on the source. We then consider a three level system interacting with a boson field. Its intermediate level is metastable and decays with emission of two quanta to the lowest level. Due to the interaction with the field the intermediate and the lower level are dressed by a virtual photon cloud. The effects of the dressing are taken into account by a unitary transformation. Then the two quanta decay amplitude is obtained using the resolvent technique. The dressed lineshape obtained is then compared with the one obtained in the decay between bare states In the dressed decay one of the emitted quanta has the same distribution as the virtual quanta surrounding the excited state.
