Phase coherence Framework
Abstract
Work DescriptionThis work introduces the Phase Decoherence Framework (P.d.f.), a conservative geometric criterion governing the operational persistence of phase-dependent observables. The framework identifies a hard coherence bound, given by cumulative phase mismatch Δφ ≤ π/2, beyond which localized phase tracking fails without invoking singularities or information loss. Numerical experiments across atomic, molecular, and solid-state systems demonstrate the bound using verified physical data while preserving unitary evolution and established physics.
