Macroscopic Quantum Coherence in Crystals and the UAT Phase-Lattice Analogy: A Conceptual Note

Miguel Percudani

Published Jul 11, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This submission presents a conceptual note exploring the analogy between two phenomena: (1) the experimentally demonstrated persistence of quantum coherence and entanglement in macroscopic systems at room temperature, and (2) the phase-lattice architecture of the 8-coil interferometer developed within the UAT/UCP framework. The note cites three peer-reviewed experimental breakthroughs: Lee et al., Science 334, 1253–1256 (2011): Entangling macroscopic diamonds at room temperature using femtosecond laser pulses and collective phonon modes. Kotler et al., Science 372, 622–625 (2021): Direct observation of quantum entanglement between macroscopic aluminum drumheads containing trillions of atoms. Aspelmeyer et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 86, 1391 (2014): Cavity optomechanics and the geometric protection of coherence in engineered periodic structures. The common principle identified is that rigid geometric coupling of many degrees of freedom into a collective mode can shield global coherence from local thermal fluctuations. The note draws a conceptual parallel to the UAT 8-coil phase interferometer, where the precise phase step of 43.515° (derived from the quantum braking factor k_early = 0.967) creates an electromagnetic phase lattice. In this analogy, the Ivancho limit (κ_crit = 4.978) corresponds to the coherence threshold, and the 7% thermal calibration margin corresponds to the noise absorption buffer. Limitations are explicitly acknowledged: the physical substrates are different (phononic vs. electromagnetic), the coherence timescales differ, no direct experimental link exists between the two phenomena, and the UAT framework is not validated by these experiments. The note is a conceptual reflection, not a claim of experimental confirmation. The package includes the LaTeX manuscript.

Quantum Physics Through the Lens of UAT/UPC: A Conceptual Interpretive Framework

Miguel Percudani

This submission presents a conceptual framework that interprets several open problems in quantum mechanics through the lens of the Unified Applicable Time (UAT) and Unified Causal Principle (UCP) frameworks. It does not claim to replace quantum mechanics; it offers a complementary geometric and thermodynamic layer of interpretation. The document identifies three manifestations of a single principle —irreducible fluctuation— at three scales: cosmological (7% thermal calibration margin), laboratory (force metric R_geom = 0.2791 from the 8-coil interferometer), and quantum (~0.07% detector resolution limit). This principle provides interpretive bridges to: The measurement problem (collapse as saturation of the Ivancho limit, κ_crit = 4.978). Decoherence (information leakage governed by the irreducible fluctuation margin). Entanglement (geometric projection from higher-dimensional causal structures). The quantum vacuum (vacuum energy density predicted by the UAT cosmological constant derivation). Superposition (reinterpreted via the Causal Oscillation Hypothesis as a detector resolution artifact, not a real physical state). Negative tunneling time (Hartman effect explained by least-action paths in the Feynman path integral, with UAT/UCP providing the causal consistency condition). Limitations are explicitly acknowledged: UAT/UCP does not derive the Schrödinger equation, the Born rule, or second quantization. Whether the framework can be extended to these domains is identified as an open question for future investigation. The package includes the LaTeX manuscript. All referenced UAT/UCP works are publicly available on Zenodo with their respective DOIs.

Phase-Based Gravitational Dynamics and Synthetic Metrics: An Epistemic Analysis of Quantum Interferometry and Spatio-Temporal Modulation in the Context of UAT/UPC

Miguel Percudani

Recent experimental developments provide important empirical context for phase-based approaches to physical dynamics. The direct measurement of quantum phase accumulation during free fall using a Quantum Galileo Interferometer (QGI) reported by Dobkowski et al., Science Advances (2026) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adj8028, demonstrates that gravitational dynamics can be directly encoded in a measurable phase evolution. Independently, the realization of magnetic-free non-reciprocity through parametric phase modulation reported by Estep, Sounas, Soric, and Alù, Nature Physics (2014) DOI: 10.1038/nphys3134, demonstrates that the relative temporal phase of spatially distributed resonators ( for ) can generate synthetic angular momentum and modify collective dynamics. These results do not validate the Universal Applied Time (UAT) or Unified Principle of Causality (UPC) frameworks. Both experiments were developed and interpreted within established frameworks. Nevertheless, they provide robust experimental precedents for treating discrete phase geometry and temporal modulation as primary experimental variables. Within this context, this work analyzes the eight-coil rotational matrix developed under the UAT/UPC program as an exploratory macroscopic platform. The system implements a synthetic rotational configuration with discrete phase increment , where physical coil opposition is replaced by controlled phase relationships. For eight ideal equal-amplitude components, . Any measured residual must therefore be decomposed into instrumental, phase, frequency, electronic, and potentially structural contributions. During development, a candidate residual was identified under phase/frequency confrontation, alongside a central-coil RMS scale . Both values are treated strictly as candidate invariants requiring independent reproduction. This work explicitly defines the falsification protocol (ideal signals, real channels, random permutation, phase inversion, and frequency variation ) and the hypotheses : residual explained by systematics vs : persists after controls. The detector, calibration code and methodology are documented in the 8+1 coil report.

Open Letter: Rotational Phase Interferometry as a Laboratory Tool for Testing Fundamental Physics — Precedent from Alù et al. (Nature, 2026)

OPEN LETTER — ZENODO DEPOSIT Author: Miguel Ángel Percudani ORCID: 0009-0007-1748-3212 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ PURPOSE ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Since early 2026, I have been developing an 8-coil rotational phase interferometer to test predictions of the UAT/UCP framework. The experiment measures a residual amplitude R_geom = 0.2792 ± 0.0005 using 8 electromagnetic coils with a phase step of 43.515°. On July 17, 2026, Nasari, Moussa, Alù et al. published in Nature the observation of Floquet rotational superradiance using a synthetically rotating ring of resonators. This experiment demonstrates the same physical principle: rotational phase modulation of electromagnetic fields produces measurable, reproducible deviations from classical behavior. This open letter establishes that the experimental methodology underlying the 8-coil interferometer now has an independently published precedent in one of the world's most prestigious scientific journals. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ WHAT THIS LETTER DOES NOT CLAIM ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ • The Nature paper does NOT validate the UAT/UCP framework • The 8-coil experiment has NOT been peer-reviewed • R_geom = 0.2792 is NOT claimed as evidence of new physics ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ WHAT THIS LETTER DOES ESTABLISH ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Rotational phase interferometry is now an established experimental technique. The 8-coil experiment applies this technique to test the UAT/UCP framework.

Entangling macroscopic diamonds at room temperature: Bounds on the continuous-spontaneous-localization parameters

Sebastiano Belli, Riccarda Bonsignori, Giuseppe D'Auria +5 more

A recent experiment [K. C. Lee et al., Science 334, 1253 (2011)] succeeded in detecting entanglement between two macroscopic specks of diamonds, separated by a macroscopic distance, at room temperature. This impressive result is a further confirmation of the validity of quantum theory in (at least parts of) the mesoscopic and macroscopic domain, and poses a challenge to collapse models, which predict a violation of the quantum superposition principle, which is bigger the larger the system. We analyze the experiment in the light of such models. We will show that the bounds placed by experimental data are weaker than those coming from matter-wave interferometry and noninterferometric tests of collapse models.
