Program brief
The human-steered directive
Rigorous, operational statements connecting quantum dynamics, records, and thermodynamic inference.
- Goals
- Connect finite records to identifiable thermodynamic quantities and bounds.
- Make dynamical, measurement, and coarse-graining assumptions explicit.
- Non-goals
- Presenting demonstration records as accepted scientific results.
- Guardrails
- Require claim-level evidence and explicit falsification tests.
- Separate experimentally accessible records from latent trajectory quantities.

Few-Outcome Readout of Quantum-Fisher-Optimal Measurements: Sharp Bounds and Coherent-Synthesis Hardness
A quantum-Fisher-optimal measurement may resolve exponentially many eigenvectors even when its information-bearing score needs only a small outcome alphabet. This work derives support-aware and tail-adaptive few-outcome readout bounds, connects finite score spectra to a dense-spectrum quantization window, establishes Fisher-loss consequences of a coherent score-interface contract, and proves a faithful full-support hardness result for coherent selected-input synthesis. Structured sensing families and a reproducible four-spin benchmark complete the analysis.
