PHY‑12: Intention Influence on Fluorescence of Quantum Dots – Version 1.1 (Hardened)

Abstract

Protocol PHY‑12 v1.1 implements the unified metrological framework of Protocol 9.0 to test the claimed ability of human intention to alter the fluorescence properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs). Version 1.1 introduces a common laser source with a beamsplitter for excitation, focus‑position monitoring, and a multivariate statistical approach (instead of univariate FDR) to handle multiple correlated observables. The protocol is designed for specialised optical laboratories with stringent control of QD stability, temperature, and environmental noise. Triple blinding, calibration perturbations, multiverse analysis, and a Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE) of 5σ above the Allan‑derived noise floor establish an uncompromising standard. The aggregation test is moved to a separate validation procedure.

In-Situ Quantum Optical Measurement for Colloidal Quantum Dots Confined in an Optical Trap

Zhi-Bo Ni, Jiong-Zhao Li, Jia-Wang Yu +7 more

While optical manipulation of atomic arrays has reached a high degree of precision and scalability, the stable optical confinement of solution-based artificial atoms like colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) remains hindered by weak trapping forces and thermal fluctuations. High-intensity trapping often compromises the quantum properties of these emitters, creating a significant trade-off between mechanical stability and optical integrity. To overcome this, we propose encapsulating CQDs within a transparent polymer matrix, thereby increasing the effective interaction volume and optical restoring force without altering the emitters themselves. This strategy allows for stable spatial confinement under standard experimental conditions, as evidenced by the direct resolution of positional fluctuations through photoluminescence imaging and trajectory tracking. With averaged position fluctuations below 20 nm, the intrinsic emission spectra and photoluminescence decay dynamics remain largely unaffected, and photon-correlation measurements confirm the full preservation of single-photon emission. These findings establish a robust method for the controlled confinement of colloidal quantum emitters and in-situ quantum-optical measurements for future advancements in quantum-optical manipulation of artificial atoms.

Coherence-Field Driven Harmonic Engineering of Qubit Stability

Treadwell, Clifford

This short paper presents an experimentally testable prediction about coherence management in quantum systems, derived from a general field-theoretic framework.The result is intentionally narrow: it identifies a specific environmental parameter that should influence qubit stability, decoherence rates, and the performance of trapped-atom, superconducting, and photonic platforms. The paper outlines: a clear physical mechanism, the expected direction and magnitude of the effect, conditions under which the signal should be strongest, how to distinguish it from noise or substrate-dependent artifacts, and a set of simple experiments that current quantum laboratories can run immediately. No new hardware is required — only controlled variation of coherence-relevant environmental parameters that most labs already monitor.If verified, the effect offers a new handle for improving qubit lifetimes and reducing error rates, and provides an independent probe of how macroscopic coherence affects quantum information flow. The paper is designed to be fully falsifiable.A null result would place clean constraints on the underlying framework; a positive result would open a new experimental pathway for coherence engineering.

PHY‑11: Intention Influence on Laser Emission Spectrum – Version 1.1 (Hardened)

Vadim Streltsov

Protocol PHY‑11 v1.1 implements the unified metrological framework of Protocol 9.0 to test the claimed ability of human intention to alter the emission spectrum of a laser. Version 1.1 introduces independent wavelength meters for each laser, acoustic enclosures and increased operator distance (5 m), real‑time monitoring of back‑reflections, and a hysteresis test in the pilot phase to verify that the system is free from irreversible drifts. The protocol is designed for specialised optical laboratories with ultra‑stable lasers, high‑precision frequency metrology, and rigorous environmental control. Triple blinding, calibration perturbations, multiverse analysis, and a Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE) of 5σ above the Allan‑derived noise floor establish an uncompromising standard.

Ultimate sensitivity in precision optical measurements using intense Gaussian quantum light: a multi-modal approach

Claude Fabre, Olivier Pinel, Pu Jian +3 more

Optical techniques are widely used in many areas of science and technology to make accurate measurements and diagnostics, from microscopy, spectroscopy, chemical analysis, to gravitational wave detection and ranging. There are many reasons for this: light allows us to extract information in a remote and non-destructive way, it carries information in a massively parallel way, and perhaps more importantly, optical measurements can reach very high precision and sensitivity levels. It is therefore important to know what is the ultimate limit of sensitivity that can be possibly achieved in the estimation of a physical parameter p that is encoded in a light beam of fixed mean photon number N. This limit is imposed by the unavoidable quantum fluctuations of light and depends on the quantum state of light that conveys the information about p. When the light is in a coherent state, this limit is called ‘standard quantum limit’ and scales as 1/N1/2.

PHY‑07: Remote Influence on a Pendulum

Vadim Streltsov

Protocol PHY‑07 implements the unified metrological framework of Protocol 9.0 to test the claimed ability of human intention to remotely alter the dynamics of a macroscopic pendulum. Version 2.0 incorporates a common invar baseplate for both pendulums to suppress differential vibrations, electrostatic shielding to eliminate charge‑induced artifacts, and a mandatory pilot phase with a fictitious operator to validate that the differential noise floor is indeed below the pre‑registered MDE. The protocol is designed for a specialised laboratory environment with active vibration isolation, high vacuum, and precision optical metrology. Triple blinding, calibration impulses, and multiverse analysis establish an uncompromising standard. The aim is detection of reproducible deviations from baseline or establishment of a quantitative upper bound on anomalous coupling.
