Abstract

We compile published energy relaxation times (T1) from 24 superconducting qubits spanning 0.5-72 GHz and show that T1 scales as a power law T1 ~ f^gamma with gamma = -2.07 +/- 0.31. Standard quantum mechanics with Ohmic or super-Ohmic baths in three spatial dimensions predicts gamma = -0.50 to -1.00. Multi-Plane Field Syntergic Theory (MPFST), which replaces the standard Laplacian with a fractional Laplacian of order alpha = 1.2, predicts gamma = -1.50 for a 3D bath — three times closer to the observed value with zero free parameters. The same alpha = 1.2 previously explained neutrino oscillation anomalies, galactic rotation curves, EEG cross-frequency coupling, and Josephson junction offsets. This constitutes independent, falsifiable evidence from a ninth empirical domain.
