QRNG Temporal Dependence Pre-Registration

Andrew Ryan

Published Jan 1, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This project contains a pre-registered statistical analysis of QRNG temporal dependence using a fixed HSIC-based pipeline. All QRNG sessions conducted prior to this registration are exploratory and are not included in the confirmatory dataset defined in this pre-registration. The confirmatory dataset will consist exclusively of sessions collected after the registration timestamp under the protocol specified herein.

Preregistered Confirmatory Evaluation of State-Dependent Pre-Decoder Conditioning in Quantum Error Correction

Cody Robert Gleason

This project presents a preregistered, confirmatory evaluation of a state-dependent pre-decoder conditioning approach in quantum error correction (QEC). The study investigates whether an upstream intervention applied to syndrome-derived information—prior to decoding—produces a consistent and reproducible effect on downstream decoding behavior under controlled conditions. The central objective is to evaluate the existence, robustness, and generality of an upstream conditioning effect at the architectural level, without assuming or asserting a specific internal mechanism. The intervention is treated as a black-box transformation that modifies the representation of syndrome information before it is provided to a decoder, enabling assessment of its observable footprint in decoder-relevant outcomes. The experimental design follows a fully specified, preregistered protocol with all primary elements defined in advance. A four-arm structure is employed: (i) an untreated control condition, (ii) a uniformly applied intervention, (iii) a state-dependent differential intervention, and (iv) a budget-matched comparison that isolates allocation effects under fixed total intervention magnitude. All arms are evaluated across fixed code distances and physical error-rate grids using shared seed schedules and identical decoding backends. Evaluation is conducted in a decoder-agnostic framework in which conditioned representations are generated once per instance and routed unchanged to multiple downstream decoders. This ensures that any observed differences arise from the upstream intervention rather than decoder-specific adaptation or tuning. Primary outcomes are defined in terms of logical failure behavior and exposed error-load observables derived from each instance. These observables are combined into a standardized composite metric using control-only normalization procedures, with all transformations, binning rules, and statistical tests specified in advance and frozen prior to confirmatory analysis. Conditional analyses are performed using bins defined exclusively from control distributions, with consistent application across all experimental arms. The preregistration includes explicit governance rules covering pilot-to-confirmatory transition, parameter freeze conditions, and the handling of any deviations. Pilot-authorized adjustments (such as parameter grid refinement or binning resolution) are finalized and documented prior to continuation of confirmatory execution. No post hoc modification of primary endpoints, evaluation criteria, or aggregation procedures is permitted. The expected outcome of this study is not a predetermined direction of effect, but a rigorous determination of whether an upstream conditioning intervention produces a measurable, reproducible, and structurally consistent footprint in decoder-relevant behavior under preregistered conditions. Results will be reported strictly according to the predefined analysis plan, with negative controls and reproducibility checks included to validate robustness. This work is intended to establish or refute the presence of an architectural-level effect in QEC pipelines while maintaining a strict separation between publicly disclosed evaluation structure and non-public implementation details.

Project WHISPER

Erich Habich-Traut

Project WHISPER is a preregistered experimental protocol testing whether statistical properties of quantum random number generator (QRNG) output recorded prior to a future event are independent of a later, independently generated target bit. The study specifies a single, falsifiable hypothesis: that summary statistics computed on a fixed pre-event window of QRNG data are either independent of, or systematically biased toward, a future target value generated by an independent QRNG. All hypotheses, analysis windows, statistical tests, and significance thresholds are preregistered prior to data unblinding. The protocol is designed to eliminate classical information leakage, experimenter bias, and analytical flexibility. A null result supports standard quantum mechanical assumptions of temporal independence; a positive result would motivate independent replication and further investigation.

Temporal Coherence of a Multi-Source Geophysical Field Index: Statistical Evidence for N=10 Cycle Persistence and Proposed Implications for Molecular Spin Qubit Decoherence

JOSE CASADO MARTINEZ

Version 2.0 (2026-07-08) — substantive corrections following internal review: interpretive section replaced (framework-independent attribution of the observed persistence); the originally proposed future-lag test statistic is withdrawn and corrected to lag 0/past lags; sample size revised from N≥30 to n≥200 with explicit power analysis; phase-surrogate (IAAFT) confirmatory standard adopted; the full experimental protocol is now pre-registered and timestamped via OpenTimestamps (SHA-256 9b26510d…, 2026-07-08, prior to any data collection) and included as Appendix A. All measured results of Section 3 are unchanged. We characterize the temporal autocorrelation of a multi-source composite electromagnetic coherence index (qr_cn) derived from twelve independent geophysical and astronomical monitoring channels (LIGO, NOAA solar/geomagnetic indices, galactic cosmic ray flux, INTERMAGNET). Over n = 5,324 epochs (May–June 2026) we find mean ρ = 0.825 ± 0.157 at persistence horizon N=10 cycles, τ=170 s (Nτ ≈ 28.3 min), versus a shuffled baseline of 0.460 (Cohen's d = 1.53, Welch t = 99.0, p ≈ 0). Pearson autocorrelation at lag Nτ: r = 0.653. We propose an experimental test correlating T₂ coherence times of [Gd(W₅O₁₈)₂]⁹⁻ on CrBr₃ (8 mK, 185 mT) with qr_cn at N-cycle lead time.
