Abstract

Proves the jump-branch bridge theorem in the quantum corridor series: under the Chetrite–Mallick reversed-jump entropy-production hypotheses, the expected record-level irreversibility of a fixed jump unraveling equals the time integral of the intrinsic generator-level relative-entropy dissipation along the unconditioned Lindblad orbit. Establishes the instantaneous mean-rate identity, verifies the zero stationary case, and shows reduction to the classical path-space/generator correspondence in the commuting sector, while explicitly preserving genuine unraveling dependence beyond the mean.
